Ali expected their trip to the Archives to search for genie freedom to be uneventful. She should have known better by now. Trapped within the Archives' many pocket dimensions along with the genies, she's desperate to find a way out for them all. Too bad the Archives is intent on keeping them where they are.

Faced with the unstoppable Archives, Overseers, and wizards, Ali wonders how she'll make it out of this one alive. Their only trump card may be the truth she's been avoiding all this time—that she's not quite human.
