Magic’s biggest secrets are finally revealed. After weeks of travel aboard the Unlawful, Hannah and Team BBB make it to their destination on the far corner of the known world. New Romanov. The home of the Oracle. And they arrive not a moment too soon as the evil forces bent on Irth’s destruction launch another attack. Hannah’s new enemy is bigger and badder than anything she’s encountered, and it is going to take all the power of her team - and more - to stop it.

Even heroes need a vacation. Unfortunately, Hannah and her friends chose the wrong beach. The Oracle needs help. She's dying, and only Ezekiel knows that the world will die along with her. Hannah and her team take up the call without hesitation. The only problem? It takes a freaking long time to cross the world. While putting their quest on hold for a much needed rest stop and resupply, Karl, Hadley, and Laurel get captured by some angry locals, who accuse them of kidnapping their leader's son.

Both groups will need to depend on the strength of their teammates, while cautiously navigating the cultures and practices of strange, new inhabitants of the furthest reaches of the world.
