Publisher's summary

From Newbery Medalist Avi comes a richly imagined, action-packed companion to his bestselling medieval mysteries Midnight Magic and Murder at Midnight

* "The novel's pace is quick, and. . . the ending completely satisfying." - Booklist, starred review

When King Claudio sends Mangus the Magician and his faithful servant, Fabrizio, to Venice to steal a manuscript that explains a magical method of making money, they must succeed in their mission or risk death. The manuscript is key to obtaining great profits for the king-and a secure future for Mangus and Fabrizio.

But Venice in 1492 is a dangerous place, full of foggy canals, cunning informers, and harsh punishments for those who steal its secrets. Before long, Mangus is snatched away into prison, and it's up to Fabrizio and his secretive new friend, Bianca, to navigate the city, find the manuscript before their enemies do, and keep Mangus alive!

Enjoyable Sequel!

This is another excellent example of Avi’s amazing storytelling. Avi has written this sequel so that it can stand alone without the other 2 books in the series. It gives little away regarding the main plot points of the others. Yet it keeps perfectly within the world of Pergamontio and its time period. The first person narrative is a bit of an adjustment if you’ve already listened to the other books but gives good insight into Fabrizio’s developing character. Great addition to your library!
