Septimus Swift is not a normal boy. He is a possessor of the Sight, a trait he considers to be more a burden than a gift. Now, however, this extraordinary quality might be his only chance to save his best friend's sister from mortal illness. Like his father Nicholas had done two decades before, Septimus finds himself crossing the border between the mundane and the magical as the Gates to the Other World open once more.
Meanwhile, the saga of Tilir continues. Savages threaten the stability of the realm, the king is facing pressure from allies across the sea, and a group of rebels stirs the kettle to make sure the proceedings don't end with a peaceful outcome. Throw some intrigue and backstabbing into the mix, and you've got the makings of disaster. What will happen to Septimus when he is thrust headfirst into this mysterious foreign world?
