Three lost isles to protect Atlantis ...
James Chase needs magic from seven elements in order to deploy the Lighthouse island from the pocket dimension where it was built. However, the element of Air is missing, its elemental long dead.
Chase turns to healer Jayesh Khatri, who used to work with magic smugglers to illegally track shard carriers. Jayesh joins forces with Nell and Max, a couple of streetwise teenagers struggling to straighten out their lives. They have questions about the fate of Omniscient, the dead ringleader of the smugglers, questions that Jayesh doesn't dare answer. As they work together to track down the person carrying the last fragment of air magic, Nell and Max press their healer for the truth, dangerous though it may be.
An encounter with the fanatical Cult of the Dawn sends the investigation into a tail spin. Can Jayesh win the trust of Nell and Max, or will the Emperor of Atlantis and his cult capture the last remaining Aspect of Air?

This book is a nice change of pace from the sheer emotional intensity of Sanctuary. Most of it revolves around Max and Nell, a couple of ex-teen-delinquents who owe their new magic shards to Jayesh. They help him look for a person with a particular kind of magic, and along the way, Nell develops the idea that Jayesh killed Omniscient. You know, way back in Bloodbound. The reveal of this particular secret is very fun. Then Jayesh has to go undercover as a HeroTuber and crack a lot of awful jokes, which is pretty funny. The book takes a dark turn in the last third, though, as the Atlantean Exile meta plot comes bombing in. Nell, Max, and Jayesh all shine here as they get some action scenes. I kind of wish the other books in the series had been as focused as this one.
