The search of a daughter for her father is but the beginning of this robust fantasy adventure. For five hundred years since the events of William Shakespeare's "The Tempest", Miranda has run Prospero, Inc., protecting an unknowing world from disasters both natural and man-made. Now her father has been taken prisoner of dark spirits in a place she could only guess. Piecing together clues about her father's whereabouts and discovering secrets of her shrouded past, she comes to an inescapable conclusion she has dreaded since Prospero was lost. Prospero has been imprisoned in Hell, kept there by demons who wish to extract a terrible price in exchange for his freedom. As the time of reckoning for Miranda draws near, she realizes that hundreds of years of their family's magic may not be enough to free her once-powerful father from the curse that could destroy them...and the world.

More than four hundred years after the events of Shakespeare's "The Tempest", the sorcerer Prospero's daughter Miranda has attained everlasting youth through the water of life, a gift she shares with her father and her other siblings. Miranda is the head of her family's business, Prospero Inc., which secretly has used its magic for good around the world for hundreds of years. While at work, Miranda receives a message from her father: 'Beware the Three Shadowed Ones'. When Miranda seeks her father, he is nowhere to be found. Miranda sets out on a quest to find her father, reuniting along the way with her estranged siblings. Each sibling holds a staff with a unique magical power, and each knows secrets about Miranda's sometimes foggy past. As she learns the truth about herself and her family, her quest becomes clearer. Her journey through the past, present, and future will take her to Venice, Chicago, the Caribbean, Washington, D.C., and the North Pole. For help on her quest Miranda brings Mab, an aerie being who presents itself as a tough-as-nails hard-boiled detective, and works for Prospero, Inc.;
Mephistopheles, her mentally unbalanced brother; and her magical flute, an enchanted device capable of casting spells and controlling the aerie spirits. They must ward off the Shadowed Ones and the other ancient demons wishing to harness the staffs' powers. As if the supernatural creatures who pursue them aren't dangerous enough, Miranda's task is complicated by the sudden reappearance of her first true love, Prince Ferdinand, the son of her father's betrayer, who left her standing at the altar after the conclusion of The Tempest.

Prospero, the sorcerer on whose island of exile William Shakespeare set his play, The Tempest, has endured these past many centuries. His daughter Miranda runs the family business, Prospero, Inc., so smoothly that the vast majority of humanity has no idea that the Prosperos' magic has protected Earth from numerous disasters. But Prospero himself has been kidnapped by demons from Hell, and Miranda, aided by her siblings, has followed her father into Hell to save him from a certain doom at the hands of vengeful demons. Time is running out for Miranda, and for the great magician himself. Their battle against the most terrifying forces of the Pit is a great fantasy adventure.
