They snuck away from Shepard and their au pair Nellie again but this time they are on a boat. They sailed out to sea and caught sight of an active volcano. After being dropped off at a island they look around. The island is deserted apart from one house and that house belongs to their uncle Alistair who is in the Ekaterina branch of the Cahill family. Amy and Dan decide to stay with Alistair for the night knowing they will be safe, dry and warm. Later on through the night Isabel Kabra set the house on fire and Amy was woken up by the smell of smoke. She ran and woke up Dan and Alistair and they all ran onto the roof. Just as the fire started spreading and coming closer Irina Spasky (who is a Lucian) came to the rescue. She grabbed a bamboo stick and pole volted up to the roof with them. Irina gave Amy her missing jade necklace that had belonged to Grace Cahill (Amy and Dan's grandmother). They used the pole to help them climb to safety but before Irina could climb down the house crumbled to pieces leaving Irina Spasky dead. Amy felt terrible after seeing someone die but when Amy saw Nellie waving frantically from a launch ready to pick them up she felt much better. After saying goodbye to Alistair they sailed off. Amy and Dan didn't find a clue in this book. I hope they find a clue in book 7.
