After the battle on the shore of the Bottomless Sea, Fable is determined to connect with the prize she won from Endora-the Blood Star. But her fractured magic is still not working right. And with her firehawk friend still in Endora's clutches, the Tanagers' store missing, and Thorn's sister wandering in the Lichwood, nothing seems to be going well for Fable and her friends. When a strange messenger arrives at the Thistle Plum Inn, the residents are sent on a mysterious quest to Stonebarrow. They soon find out that Starfell is facing an even bigger threat than Endora-a furious dragon bent on revenge. Along the way, Fable finds an enchanted amulet that may be the answer to all of their problems. Or is it? Can Fable and her friends thwart the dragon and her wicked plans? Or will Fable's magic spin out of control again, dooming Starfell in the process?

Fable and her friends are on a mission to restore her grandfather's memories. There's only one thing in Starfell that can heal his magical injuries-the ashes of a recently reborn phoenix. They head out to visit Thorn's family in the Windswept Mountains, who can guide them to a phoenix's den near their home. But finding its ashes and unlocking their magic is not going to be easy. Especially with Endora vying for the bird's flames, desperate to use them to break her bond with the immortal dragon. Can Fable and her friends reach the phoenix before Endora and find the key to unlocking its power?
