Brianna and her friends are back for another action-packed adventure. Just months after returning home from Caelaigh, Brianna finds herself in a whirlwind of trouble. Her mother, the queen, receives grave news of an unexpected pregnancy that could end her life. As if the news of her mother isn?t bad enough, Brianna?s island is attacked by ruthless pirates looking for her magic book. As the king lies on the ground dying from a fatal wound, Brianna is kidnapped and taken on board the Skark Skull where she has to rely heavily on the help of a stranger to get free. Maxidious is a strange wizard who likes to recreate mythology. During her brief stay with the old man, Brianna learns of Killians past and what she must do to stop his recklessness. She?s also introduced to a form of magic that will allow all her people to cast spells like she?s always dreamed. Just when Brianna thinks she will be reunited with her mother once again, she finds herself in the fight for her life. Battling the pirates for a second time is no problem; trying to escape the humans is another situation. Brianna, Reilly, Quinn, and Aislinn are captured realizing for the first time that this could be the end of their lives.
