Silver Valley disappears when the magical conch is stolen. To retrieve it, Anand and Nisha (The Conch Bearer, The Mirror of Fire and Dreaming) travel to a place where the air is brown and people breathe through masks. There, they discover how to save their own world. Some plot points are too conveniently resolved in this trilogy ender.
