Content Ratings

No Romance
Jaime's feelings for Tess are hinted at with very gentle warmth; no romantic content is developed in this installment.
Light Themes
The novel deepens the exploration of how cities carry the memory of their builders, who gets to control that memory, and the responsibility of those who inherit a legacy.
No Violence
The tension remains in the register of the puzzle and its increasingly significant implications; mild danger from antagonists is present.
Synopsis

Tess, Theo, and Jaime follow the next layer of the Morningstarr cipher across New York City and into the secrets of the alternate-history past, discovering that the stakes of their treasure hunt are much higher than any of them imagined. A strong middle volume that deepens both the mystery and the characters' relationships.
