For five hundred years, the Porters have hidden magic from the world, but their secrets are now exposed, and a greater threat looms. The banished would-be queen Meridiana has returned in the form of a girl named Jeneta Aboderin, seeking a powerful artifact created by Pope Sylvester II—a bronze prison that could command an army of the dead. Isaac Vainio, a Michigan librarian, finds himself powerless after being stripped of his magic by Johannes Gutenberg. Determined to regain his abilities and rescue Jeneta, Isaac must navigate the perilous world of black-market magic, confronting dangerous entities, including the sorcerer Juan Ponce de Leon. Joined by his loyal fire-spider Smudge, dryad warrior Lena Greenwood, and psychiatrist Nidhi Shah, Isaac races against time to unravel a mystery over a thousand years old, as rival magical forces vie for control of the future. Hunted by enemies and former allies, Isaac's knowledge and resourcefulness will be crucial for survival as a magical war threatens to engulf the globe. His choices will impact the fate of his friends, the Porters, the students of Bi Sheng, and the world. Ultimately, even if he finds a way to restore his magic, he knows he can't save everyone.
