For the last five years, Fritz has lived a reclusive, solitary life trying to open the Celestine and save his imprisoned friends. But, during his absence, Ivanov's Home for Orphaned Boys re-opened under new, mysterious owners, children all over the world began to disappear, and a diabolical power is driving the Czar and the Five Kingdoms into a suicidal conflict over gold.

With his brother enlisted for war and the remaining Wizards of The Order bent on revenge, Fritz must foil the Czar's insidious plot to steal gold, forge new alliances, and defeat an enemy unaffected by his magic before everyone he loves is gone forever.
