Their keeper has vanished into the same enchanted sleep that nearly took Mia's grandfather. And their last young sentinel, Wei Zhu, is missing the one stone that matters - held for sixty years by a family that won't forgive what the Zhus did to theirs.The rite demands nine keepers standing together.
