Picking up right after the tragic events at the end of Book 1, Axel and his friends are dead set on bringing Hope back, no matter the cost. A globe trotting adventure begins, facing enemy after enemy all in the pursuit of saving the one who brought light upon each of them--the stakes are at an all time high. Let the games begin.

Hope and her friends have been at peace for six months. After the pure terror and chaos of fighting the guardians and saving the universe from complete destruction, they each have taken a well deserved rest. However, while at the pool one day enjoying their summer, a girl suddenly washes up from a beach area nearby--she is a young child, and knows nothing of her past. One thing, though, immediately causes the others to recognize high stakes--she is a Multi-Color, just like them...she is not all as she seems, and she suddenly warps them to a long abandoned castle, filled with hostile enemies and a plot unraveling within the shadows. Now, Hope and the others must determine who--and what--this girl really is, before the door to the truth of reality shuts forever, losing all their long sought memories in the process... ...however, the innocent lives which they once knew are not forever-lasting. The fairy tale which they dreamed of is about to be completely shattered to nothingness. The tides of time have begun to tick...
