Tom, the Spook, and Alice return from Greece to discover that the county is under sieges and that the Spook's house and precious library have been set aflame. Seeking sanctuary, they flee to the island of Mona. There, the island is dominated by a cruel Shaman, and the natural hostilities of the land and its witch hunters intensify. Alice must evade the increasing threat, while a darker power rises: Bony Lizzie, recently freed from the Spook's bonds, seeks to seize the island’s throne.
