After the ferocious battle in War of Chaos, Stig and Meg pursue the evil Anet through a swirling interdimensional rift-and straight into new trouble. On the other side of this portal, the two Manna find themselves in a world of giants and strange, ominous technology-a world that seems as obsessed with greed and gold as Anet herself. They've pursued their enemy to her homeland, a country known as England. Alone and hunted by a terrifying flying machine, Stig and Meg find allies in the unlikeliest places, and they come to realize other Manna have made this trip between worlds before. When their frantic search leads them to a golden temple hidden deep beneath the earth, Stig learns that fate ties him to this mysterious shrine. Unfortunately, the two Manna have bigger things to worry about. Anet knows Stig and Meg are in England, and she's using all her resources to hunt them down. Stig's ability to devise disastrous plans isn't helping matters, but the Manna can't afford to give up now. Anet is breeding new creatures to unleash on Chelldrah-ham, and it's starting to look as if the Manna simply can't stop her this time.
