With the support of the Iffenwilders and their mighty water magic, Daisy and her friends are finally setting off to rescue the Botanists held prisoner in the heart of the Amazon rainforest - including Daisy's Ma. But when an unexpected attack sends the rescue mission spinning off course, Daisy and Max are separated, and Max shipwrecked on an impossible shore with no way of escape.

Even Daisy's arrival in Amazeria - the stunning Amazonian pocket of the Greenwild, teeming with green magic - is in jeopardy as the mysterious Great Reaper draws ever closer.

In the shadows of the great rainforest, it's impossible to know who to trust. Daisy and her friends must draw on every ounce of courage they have to fight for Daisy's Ma, for the Greenwild, and for everything they hold most dear.
