Returning to the Golden House and discovering that it is not the same place it once was, William, Mary, and Alice travel back in time to find the Magician and put a stop to Morden’s evil power. Something terrible is happening at the Golden House. Uncle Jack’s on edge, he and Phoebe rarely speak, Baby Stephanie is always crying, and someone has trashed the secret room in the tower. On top of everything, Morden’s evil rats are everywhere…. They seem to be taking over the house! So when the Magician is nowhere to be found and Jasper the owl warns that the Golden House is no longer safe, William, Mary, and Alice are determined to save the day—even if it means risking their lives to travel back in time. Facing the most crucial and desperate adventure of all, the Constant siblings set out to lead the last great battle as they try to keep Morden from becoming all-powerful and begin to learn the true secrets of alchemy as they search for the Magician.
