A plague in Mexico, City is leaving a burned out Linguist in need of a day off. She is fighting a magical epidemic, unraveling a thread of ancient Spanish words; until a cure can be found. But opportunity knocks. Ayelet Rosenberg flies to New York for a day, to see the original Broadway cast of The Scrappy Bunch Five; for their final show. Upon arrival however, another outbreak occurs; thanks to an inept enchanter with a grudge. Manhattan is now a ticking time bomb. Reality adapted to the rules of the Chinese language. Where vocabulary can be assembled into tools, threats disguised as grammar, and a petty dragon wants to level the city. Ayelet and her five Tones have just three days to navigate a pathway of puzzles. Like Pandora's Box, hope dwells within the chaos. Failure not an option, as the fate of two cities rests upon her shoulders. Zhong Wen York blends continual mnemonics with action adventure. Education takes the wheel, while Entertainment handles the radio.
