Synopsis
Sabrina and Daphne Grimm return to New York City for the first time since their parents were kidnapped. They are looking for the family of their friend Puck, but the city turns out to be full of Everafters, from pirates working on Wall Street to a murderer hiding among the crowds. While the sisters investigate the death of an important Everafter, they discover that their mother kept a secret from them. That secret may point the way to the Scarlet Hand, the group behind the kidnapping, and could change what the girls believe about their own family.
