Nine and her friends embark on a perilous quest to retrieve a stargold locket, their only hope against a cunning witch. Hidden in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures and guarded by a notorious gangmaster, the locket's power remains elusive. To unlock its secrets, they must journey through the World Between Worlds to the enigmatic Isle of Illusion, where reality bends and danger lurks. Can Nine outwit her foes and harness the locket's magic before time runs out?

From the publisher

Nine and her friends must hunt down the priceless stargold locket to fend off a dangerous witch in the fourth and final book in the adventurous, magical, and brilliantly funny New York Times bestselling House at the Edge of Magic series. Nine and her friends are headed to the mortal realm in search of the only thing that will shake a very tricky witch off their tail: a priceless stargold locket. It lies hidden in the Nest of a Thousand Treasures, guarded by Nine’s old foe–the formidable gangmaster of all the thieflings in London. Even if Nine can get her hands on the locket, the friends must find a way to release its power– and for that they must travel through the World Between Worlds to the lighthouse on the Isle of Illusion, where nothing is quite as it seems…
