The winter of 1889 brought great acclaim to intrepid journalist Nellie Bly as she successfully traveled 'round the world in only 72 days, besting her rival, Elizabeth Bisland, steaming in the opposite direction. The adventure, inspired by Jules Verne's sci-fi novel, made headlines on every continent, but the fame soon evaporated. Twelve years later, the French author brought them together for the first time. A new quest awaits them in Japan as they search for the fabled Dragon's Eye and the lost kingdom of the Yamatai.
Nellie and Beth have moved on from the race that defined their early years, but the mysterious invitation has ripped away old scars and unleashed suppressed feelings. Fame and notoriety came at a high cost, and the two rivals find that working together is more difficult than they ever imagined. From France to Arabia, and Ceylon to Singapore, they must navigate not only different personalities and new cultures but an emerging threat with murderous intentions that stalks from the shadows. Awaiting them all is the Dragon's Eye, a dangerous stretch of water off the coast of Tokyo with ancient mystical powers.
Can the competitors put aside their differences to unravel the mysteries of the Dragon's Eye? What secrets do the Yamatai and their teenage queen hold? Who is the deadly menace that stalks them from port to port? As time ticks down, who will survive in a race to the end?
