Beneath a sky of bruised and "venomous purple," where the river's "relentless plink" tolls the knell of a pauper's soul, dwells Jacob—a man consumed by a "black fury" and a "simmering rage." From the threshold of a "shack that seems to lurch and sway," he gazes upon the Mallory estate, those "insolent constellations of wealth" that glitter like cold stars to mock his misery.

Fourteen-year-old reporter Devon MacDonald has a right to be paranoid. His last case nearly got him killed. But his reckless best friend, Zack, is addicted to the thrill, dragging a terrified Devon to Birchwood Cemetery at midnight. They don't find a story. They find a freshly dug grave—and the men who are digging it. When a body surfaces by the local loch, the police arrest the new kid in town and his wealthy father, thanks to a perfectly planted shovel. Devon and Zack know the real killers are still free, but going to the cops is impossible.

Your shortcut to a faster commute... just became a one-way trip into the past. Aiden just wants to make it to first period on time —and avoid the wrath of Mrs. Gable for the third time this week. To him, the crumbling, fog-shrouded Blackwood Cemetery is not a place for eternal rest; it’s a massive, grass-covered shortcut that shaves exactly seven minutes and forty-two seconds off his walk. His best friend, Iain, has always called it a bad idea. Today, he was right.

Whereas only a few months earlier he would not have believed any of it, Salem Swan now finds himself faced with sinister enemies and, equally surreal, surrounded by close friends. He has gained powers as a mythlinguist, and with it a responsibility to reunite the world of humans with the world of myth, known as the Fringe. With his uncle Ulysses and Captain Fern taken prisoner by a growing Regulat force, it's up to Salem and the crew to seek help in old allies. This takes them to the heart of the Amazonian rainforest, where a city concealed in waterfalls tests the measure of their resolve.
