As Celeste awakens from her slumber to usher in Winter once more, she makes a stunning announcement: the Winter Palace—the very place where Violet is being held captive--will host a festival. With the palace's spelled protections down for just one evening, the opportunity to save his sister might finally be in Fetch's grasp. And so, with only Beckblade, a tiny yet fierce bone dragon, for company, he sets off on a treacherous rescue mission.

But what Fetch doesn't realize is that a dark and mysterious secret lies buried within him, one that could unravel everything. Can Fetch discover what plagues him before it leads to his ruin, and he loses Violet and their magic forever?
