Archibald's return from Lemurea brings unexpected challenges as he discovers remnants of the dark world he left behind. Though he has grown braver, standing up to bullies and befriending gargoyles, he longs for his friends in Lemurea. Strange footprints at the manor signal a looming threat, pushing him to seek Faerydae's help once more. This adventure intertwines two worlds, revealing shocking truths as Archibald and his companions face a perilous hunt for clues, golems, and Marodors, testing their bonds and courage.

History, magic, and adventure collide in this riveting middle-grade fantasy novel about an unusual boy who unlocks an ancient relic--and, with it, a forgotten world. Befriended by a band of young witches, Archibald Finch must quickly adapt to survive in Lemurea, where a battle born in the Middle Ages is still unfolding . . . Archibald is a risk-averse boy with quirks that earn him plenty of eye-rolls, especially from his older sister, Hailee. Things get worse when his parents move the family from London to his grandmother's creepy manor in the English countryside. Now he has to deal with hairless dolls in the library, weird stone creatures on the roof, and a spooky forest at the edge of the backyard. But these turn out to be the least of Archibald's problems . . . One day, as he's exploring the cavernous house, he finds a curious globe that whisks him away to a secret world, hidden for 500 years. Archibald finds himself on a thrilling adventure full of medieval magic, mysterious symbols, and the strangest beasts, while Hailee--who witnessed her brother's disappearance--embarks on a daring quest to find him.
