Synopsis
Arthur must stop the sixth Trustee, Superior Saturday, from carrying out her plan to invade the realm above hers in pursuit of even greater power, all while navigating a House that has begun visibly collapsing under the cumulative strain of the earlier Trustees' misrule and Arthur's own repeated interventions. Complicating his mission further is the growing toll his continued presence in the House is taking on the mortals in his own world, a consequence he can no longer ignore as he closes in on the sixth fragment of the Will. With time running out on multiple fronts, Arthur must confront Superior Saturday's ambitions before her invasion can proceed and the damage to both the House and Earth becomes irreversible.

Notes
- From the series record (The Keys to the Kingdom): Core Canon = all 7 novels of the completed series (Scholastic US / HarperCollins UK / Allen & Unwin Australia, 2003-2010). Confirmed a separate, unrelated universe from Nix's The Old Kingdom, already in this canon -- different world, different magic system, no shared characters; both records are cross-referenced as being by the same author.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
