Following the perilous events of the previous winter, the intrepid Pym siblings—Kate, Michael, and Emma—are desperate to continue their search for their vanished parents. However, with newfound enemies on their trail, their guardian, the eccentric wizard Stanislaus Pym, seeks to protect them by hiding them in the unlikely sanctuary of the Edgar Allan Poe Home for Hopeless and Incorrigible Orphans. Safety proves fleeting as their adversaries swiftly discover their refuge, sparking a frantic chase that hurls Kate a century into the past, into a magically imbued and dangerous New York City. Stranded in time, Kate must navigate this unfamiliar world, encountering an enigmatic boy whose destiny is unsettlingly intertwined with her own, all while seeking a path back to her siblings. Meanwhile, Michael and Emma embark on their own perilous quest for the second artifact: the legendary Book of Fire.

Can Michael and Emma discover the powerful Book of Fire and harness its magic before Kate is irrevocably lost to the past?
