Out of the vast expanse of the cosmos, something colossal and older than time itself is approaching. A long-standing friend of Professor Abbacus arrives at the Nocturnal Academy, seeking help to investigate this enigmatic object. Aided by an unusual group handpicked for their unique abilities and experiences, they must all battle to gain entry into this heavily-defended artefact. It won't be easy and unfortunately not everyone sees eye to eye... Warning: this is the first part in a trilogy, and finishes on a cliffhanger.

Seventeen year-old Carrie Garland wakes suddenly in her cabin aboard the famous cruise liner, the Queen of the Ocean. It is four thirty in the morning, and she is alone. As she searches for her family she starts to notice odd things, like new paintings in the gallery, an old-fashioned pub in the Atrium and for some reason all the decks are numbered "thirteen". Why is the clock on her phone stuck? Why has the ship's name suddenly changed to the Moon Princess? Why are so many passengers dressed in old-fashioned clothes? What are that battleship and pirate sloop doing, lurking on the horizon? When will the sun finally rise? And where are her family? Carrie soon finds herself at the centre of a mystery that is literally out of this world.

Worn out after her first three terms at the Nocturnal Academy, Alice Dibble finds she needs help to sleep and concentrate. At a low ebb, she accidentally allows some Immaterial imps to influence her thought patterns, and uses her superior mental powers to push her unhealthy father into exercising.

At the same time, Alice and her vampire friend Milly become involved with a Magick group at the Rainbow Tiger store in Appleton Mall. They are trying to open a portal to the Magick Earth. Although Alice has second thoughts, Milly travels through with them. When Milly's distraught parents arrive at the school, Alice is forced to reveal everything. Professor Abbacus proclaims that he and Alice will easily bring Milly back as he knows his way around the Magick Earth. Toby and Carla volunteer to go as well. However, only Alice, Toby and Carla make it through; the portal at the Rainbow Tiger contains a failsafe that prevents the Professor from following.
