Jesse and Ashton return in the second thrilling installment of the World of Many Colors trilogy. Now Jesse is a fugitive on the run, with Elain in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow the witch-Ember White-and preventing her skyrunner army from flourishing all over the Otherworld, all while set out on a daring rescue to save Ashton from the witch’s clutches. Meanwhile, as strange things occur to another version of Ashton back on Earth-reoccurring dreams of Jesse and his other self, giant blue insect creatures attack the town, and a strange old lady named Maloree Tynan moving in with a mysterious motive-Ashton and his friends Juan, Dirk, and Abby spend the last week of their Spring Break attempting to solve these mysteries, only to find that nothing is what it seems to be. Ashton, Jesse, and Elain may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.
