Annie is no longer a Nobody--she's a Time Stopper, one of the last humans who can control time.

Then Annie discovers that the wicked Raiff has kidnapped her beloved new guardian. To save her, Annie must win the trust of a riddle-loving dragon and search for a magical bow and arrow.

Can they save the day before the Raiff destroys everything they hold dear?
