Meanwhile, Trellis finds Luger in a cave, who has become weak and crippled due to using the amulet too much in The Stonekeeper's Curse.

Emily, who noticed that the humanoid fox Leon was missing, finds him in her great grandfather Silas's study.

They find two humanoid cats, Enzo and Rico, who claim to have seen Cielis in the sky, but elves enter the bar searching for their wanted prisoners.

The crew believes they are after Emily and try to hide her, but they find out the prisoners are Trellis and Luger, whom elves from outside of the bar have already found.

The crew arrives at an island floating in the sky, where they have to solve a pattern of stones which are being held in midair due to the power of an amulet's energy.

The book ends with Max telling Emily that she will be tested by the Guardian Council to see if she will be worthy enough to be part of them.
