Arthur and Maudie Brightstorm are back home in Lontown after their exhilaratingâand secretâadventures in Erythea. Maudieâs sky-ak invention is a hit and Harriet Culpepper has just announced that she will freely share her skyshipâs hydroelectric technology. Even Eudora Vane seems to have softened
toward them now that her memory has been erased.
Still, tensions are brewing. The existence of super-sapient creatures on other continents threatens how some Explorers see themselves in the natural order of the world. When Arthur and Maudie begin hearing a strange song summoning them northâa song only they can hearâthey know thereâs an adventure waiting
for them that may change the lives of everyone in the Wide.
But the Auroraâs not the only skyship journeying northward to uncover the regionâs secrets. The North holds answers to the twinsâ family history and is home to another legendary super-sapient creature: the earth-bear. And there is someone who will stop at nothing to destroy the Brightstorm name, someone
who is not above exploiting any person or creature to ensure her success.
Return to Vashti Hardyâs âmarvelously imaginedâ world (Publishers Weekly) in this sweeping and propulsive conclusion to the Brightstorm Twins trilogy.
