The wise Druids are baffled. The Travel Guild, usually a proactive authority on all the Pages, seems unconcerned. Fiona's not one to wait for permission when there are lives at risk. But before she heads out, Fiona is entrusted with an urgent case from a perturbed phoenix. Two cases, one mystery, and not much time. The clues could be buried in the rocky depths of the Page of Earth or floating amongst the clouds of the Page of Air.

Life flourishes in the Book, a realm of stacked worlds, like the pages of a novel. Each more unique than the last. Those who can travel through them are page turners. Blessed with the power to go from one page to the next. For investigator Fiona Thorne, being a turner is normal life. Solving mysteries is where the excitement lives. Minor cases are still work to be done, people to be helped, and she's determined to make an impact in the Book, no matter what. Blaze, the page of fire, is wasting away. Fire elementals are being smuggled out in waves, but by whom? Fiona is on the job and nothing will hold her back, not even the overbearing Travel Guild.
