When collapsing roofs threaten the cave world of Lithnia, both Jimmy and Jade’s skills are needed to save Lithnia from the giant, rock-chewing beatles who originated in Egypt as scarabs.

The Sky Islands are caught in tornado winds and a whirlwind is tearing the islands apart. Matilda instructs Jade to go to their aid. Jimmy is forbidden from interfering, but he does help Jade to carry out her plan to save the Islanders. Can the youngest witch overcome the danger?

Madam Coptra rules the Sky Islands and has given birth to The Weatherman’s, aka Lord Oron’s, son, Helios and he must be introduced to the Coven of sister witches.

The dreaded Giant Scrabs return to their destructive chewing of rocks which threatens the very structure of Roombelow, far away from Lithnia.

Jimmy and Jade trace the beatles resting place to a floating island in the Arctic seas, where the Centaurians, a race from planet Xe, in the Alpha Centauri system, are using the Scarabs to mine crystal diamonites from Lithnia to protect their planet from gamma rays being emitted by one of their suns. To save their planet they would risk destroying Earth. Jimmy employs XRU, his talkative star ship’s navigator to help the aliens, and avoid an intergalactic war.

Matilda, head of the four guardian witches of Earth’s realms, is called to move to a higher level. Who will she appoint as her successor?
