The daughter of renowned inventor Hercules Fatchops, Lily has watched her father’s flying machines fail time and time again. Working in secret, Lily is trying to build what her father couldn’t: an aircraft that actually works. And of course, she’s following his example and employing scientific principals alone—not magic. (Well, a protection spell or two doesn’t count, right?)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lily’s secret project takes on a new sense of urgency when a mysterious enemy emerges from beyond the mountains.
