"After years on the run, the Floods are finally coming home. Since Mordonna and Nerlin fled Transylvania Waters, things there have gone from worse to much worse. King Quatorze has bled the country dry, though it is still very, very damp. He has even sold everyones shoelaces, and his subjects are way past ready for a change. The Hearse Whisperer has grown old and tired chasing the Floods around the world and is ready to retire and open a flower shop. A New Age is about to dawn, a new age with a lot less damp and a lot more chocolate. But first they have to get rid of the old King.--Provided by publisher.
