The situation is tough. All eyes are on Jackson, monitoring his every move. He's lucky he's not trapped in a lab being dissected like a frog and examined like a science project. Having the attention of the police on you when you're a mystici is bound to be difficult, but did everything else have to go wrong, too? The year is just about to end and all Jackson does is spend his days in the back of a police car, wondering how long he'll have to put up his innocent act.
If only the police could help him find Vix, who remains missing. Finding him is Jackson's number-one priority when Azriel sends him, Rachel, Nick, Eli, Cynthia, and Cassidy on a journey to the Hollows of Zenith, hidden deep, deep under the waters of Lake Champlain. The Hollows of Zenith, the connection between the human world and the kingdom of Aylshire. The Hollows of Zenith, a place that Jackson may never come out of.
And in the Hollows of Zenith is a certain heiress from Aylshire, one that is thirsty not for water, but for power. As long as Jackson can manage not to drown or get impaled by a crystal, he'll be fine. At least, he hopes so. Things don't always go according to plan.
