Peril floats above the Trail of Magic...
As Jeremus Gandy finds shelter behind the high walls of the Southern Swamp, he's forced to deal with the loss of friends and figure out who can be trusted and who cannot.
Inside the walls is a village unlike any he's ever seen, created by a trio of brothers unlike any he's ever met. The Marvelous Monzo Brothers appear to have created a utopia with their Magic of the Arts, but what lengths will they go to protect their home when the king's army attacks? Will Jeremus and his companions be treated as allies in the fight, or will they be treated as enemies?
The walled village isn't the only place they travel that's been affected by Magic. As enemies continue their pursuit of Jeremus and the Book - with the threat of mortal danger constantly closing in - the travelers encounter a land among the clouds. The Floating Lands are filled with Magic in people and land alike, and Removing those sources of Magic threatens Jeremus, his friends, and countless innocent lives.
Jeremus learns more about the past, more about his parents, and more about how the families of his mother and father shaped the Kingdom of Augermore into the chaotic mess it's become. But will this knowledge make Jeremus's own decisions easier or harder to make?
As he races to cross the kingdom and finish filling the Book, Jeremus faces one impossible choice after another, each new type of Magic more difficult to handle than the last. Will Augermore's most powerful armies finally capture him and the Book? Will he keep his remaining friends safe? And can he trust those traveling with him... or will he face the ultimate betrayal from the person that should be his closest ally?
