Zuli’s world was just turned upside down by the Witch-Queen, but she’s still determined to find out what’s happening to the spirits of her bird friends. Armed with new information about her identity, she mounts a daring escape from a merchant airship and takes off with Frowly and Orien by her side.

Zuli might be prepared to take on new challenges, but is she prepared to go further than she’s ever gone before in her effort to fix the world’s broken magic?
