When the Impossible Postal Express magically arrives to collect Suzy, she sets off on her most difficult delivery yet.

But without a map to get there, Suzy and Wilmot's journey plunges them into grave danger.

It is midnight in Crackledawn—a midnight full of magic. Sea dragons stir in the depths of the ocean, silver whales surface beneath the moon and sand goblins line the shores. Everyone is waiting for the phoenix, the guardian of the kingdom’s magic, to rise up from the forests of Everdark. But there is no sign of the phoenix tonight.
