But with the country's only quarry running out of magic -- a precious resource that has kept Ashoka safe from conflict for centuries -- she can no longer protect her citizens from the looming threat of war. Vira's only hope is to find a mysterious artefact of legend: the Ivory Key. But in order to retrieve it, she must reunite with her estranged siblings, who have taken very different paths.

But with each sibling harbouring secrets, the very thing that brought them together could tear apart their family -- and their world -- for good" --Back cover.
