As they navigate a world of body snatchers, art thieves, and forgers, they must uncover a way back to their own time.

From the publisher

“Characters are richly drawn and the pace brisk. . . . A gripping continuation.” – Kirkus Reviews In this riveting sequel to The Blackhope Enigma, a museum tour guide lures Sunni and Blaise through a painted doorway, where they discover they’ve stepped into a trap – and into eighteenth-century London. Can they evade body snatchers, art thieves, and forgers and figure out how to get back home before it’s too late? Or will keeping their secret safe mean they’re stuck in the past forever?
