Who doesn't love a good Happily Ever After? The Cursed City is now the Blessed City, with its residents' curses removed. Lena is now fully human, as are the rest of the giants, and together they live in peace with all the other humans in the city, all their differences now gone. And sure, Jin might have disappeared, but really, genie magic only caused trouble.

After the governments of the world discover that there are long-dead magical creatures, each with a buried book of magic, they realize that they need the help of kids to harness the magic.

Five and a half feet might seem pretty tall for a twelve-year-old, but it's not when your parents are giants. Lena has kept the fact that she's a tiny giant secret, using magic to grow when out in the giant village. Someone who knows not to judge by appearances is Jin, a young genie currently serving one thousand and thirty-eight years of genie training that requires him to fulfill the wish of whoever holds his magical ring. What Lena and Jin don't know is how close the Golden King's plans are to coming together, between his dark magic and his horrible Faceless knights. If Jin does find the Last Knight and bring him to the Golden King, why, that could doom the entire fairy-tale world.

Seeking revenge from his loss in the Cursed City, the Golden King starts spreading shadow magic over the kingdoms, and according the fairy queens sacred book, only Lena can defeat him and his dark spells, but first she must prove she is worthy but completing three challenges.

"The future has been saved, but at a cost: Fort Fitzgerald has been expelled from the Oppenheimer School, and some of Fort's friends have been lost in time. But time is the one thing Fort, Rachel, and Jia don't have, as they'll soon be facing off against one of the eternal Old Ones, the Timeless One, for the fate of the world. If they lose, the Old Ones will return, and humanity is doomed. If they win, the Old Ones will still return, and humanity is doomed. Because the Timeless ONe can see every possibility and plan for it. How can Fort and his friends defeat a creature like that? And what does this all have to do with the real-life Merlin, from King Arthur's days?"--Back cover.

With help from his friends, Fort tries to find and bring the last dragon to the Old Ones in exchange for releasing Fort's father, while they continue to seek the books of magic.

Fort and his friends face more perilous ancient magic as they prepare for the final battle to prevent the Old Ones from returning and destroying humanity.
