It’s been almost a year since Henry and Ethan discovered the laughter farms, but they’re still no closer to stopping the one who built them. Legion has infiltrated the Council of Shnoob, but does anyone care enough to listen? Nooooo! As usual, it will be up to Henry and her friends to stop the bad guys and save the world…
Until the unthinkable happens.
Evil has found its way to Henry’s door, and now the ones she loves will pay the price. If she ever wants to see them again, she will have to infiltrate the Jocular Brotherhood of Zanni, an ancient organization dedicated to maintaining the balance between humanity and klaonkind. Guided by a living puppet—because her life wasn’t weird enough already—Henry must face three deadly trials in order to steal their most ancient and powerful artifact, the First Hunter’s Hammer. But can she bring herself to fight for the side of evil, even if it means saving her family’s lives?
