Description:

During New London's dazzling Founders' Day Parade, a chilling tombstone etched with Metty Jones' name materializes, luring her to a shadowy underground cathedral. There, the secretive League of Shadows dangles power and sanctuary—but demands she defy Aunt Mag and conquer perilous magical trials before the full moon rises. When a blackmailer threatens to unveil the Jones family's gravest secret, Metty dives headlong into danger, allying with a sly magic thief and a snarky fire demon. Racing through enchanted streets, they hunt the elusive Shadow Compass to return in time. For Nevermoor and Lemony Snicket fans (ages 9+), this pulse-pounding tale of family loyalty, hidden fates, and self-discovery asks: how far would you go to protect your own?
