Bookroo's summary

Twelve-year-old Giacomo, armed with the Compass, a powerful Sacred Tool, must evade the ruthless Supreme Creator Nerezza. Fleeing to Rachana, he faces a new threat: an ancient force endangering the horse-Geniuses. As Nerezza plots war to capture him, Giacomo must protect the Sacred Tools and save the Rachanan warriors. Can he outsmart his enemies and prevent a global catastrophe?

From the publisher

In Book 2 of this breathtakingly action-packed series, warriors clash in an ultimate face-off between enemy empires, but both sides share an equal enemy–Giacomo. Giacomo, his fellow artists, and their wise old teacher are on the run after a showdown with Nerezza, the emperor of Zizzola, who has vowed to hunt them down and destroy them and their precious Geniuses. In a desperate attempt to escape, they transport themselves to Rachana, a South Asian-inspired world where it’s the most powerful warriors, not artists, who possess Geniuses. The power-hungry Rachanan leader is more than happy to have Giacomo and his team–he’s eager to find the next Sacred Tool, the Straightedge, and believes it’s hidden somewhere in his empire. Meanwhile, Nerezza has devised a plan to control Giacomo and bend him to her will. But first she’ll have to start an all-out war to get to him.
