Bookroo's summary

Fifteen-year-old Bobby Pendragon faces a dire choice: save the inhabitants of Eelong from a deadly plague by breaking the Traveler rules or risk their extinction. Transporting an antidote from another territory is forbidden, but the stakes are high. If Bobby acts, he could jeopardize his own safety and the future of all territories. Will he defy the rules to save a world, or will he adhere to his duty and watch Eelong fall? The fate of many hangs in the balance as Bobby grapples with this impossible decision.

From the publisher

Breaking the rules Just when fifteen-year-old Bobby Pendragon thinks he understands his purpose as a Traveler – to protect the territories of Halla from the evil Saint Dane – he is faced with an impossible choice. The inhabitants of Eelong are in danger of being wiped out by a mysterious plague. The only way Bobby can stop it is to bring the antidote from another territory. Since moving items between territories is forbidden by the Traveler rules, if Bobby chooses to save Eelong he could endanger himself, his friends, and the future of every other being in Halla.
