Synopsis
Every hundred years humanity is put to the test, and a new cycle of the trial begins in Shanghai, the city of Water. Sheng, Harvey, Elettra and Mistral, the four young people chosen to face it, each have a distinct gift. Harvey serves as bait to get into Heremit Devil's building and recover the objects the enemy had stolen. Their search points towards a mysterious island that appears only once every hundred years. Their main opponent in the book is Heremit Devil.
