"Sometimes magic doesn't wait for you to find it. Alidade is going to leave, and no one can stop her. Not her mom. Not the Night Coast who control the Valley or their stupid rules. But the Valley has other plans... On the fun from the Night Coats (again) after breaking another rule (again), Alidade stumbles upon a secret door leading to a magical hideaway that belongs to the long-lost peacekeepers, the Mapmakers. There, she accidentally brings to life Blue, a magical creature called a Memri who is meant o protect the Valley. Blue needs Alidade's help to find the Mapmakers and save the Valley from the Night Coats! But the Mapmakers are gone. Alidade has a choice: leave the Valley ... or become a Mapmaker and save the only home she's ever known."-- cover page 4.
