Got a problem At Vulcan's Celestial Supply Shop, you can find the magical merchandise to set things right. The seasoned staff-a kid named Nico Bravo, a sphynx named Lula, and a unicorn named Buck-pride themselves on providing "legendary service and expertise in all areas of the arcane." In the third volume of the Nico Bravo series, Vulcan is on trial, accused by the evil Ahriman of breaking the Cosmic Rule-interfering in the plans of a fellow god! His only hope is finding five powerful artifacts scattered across the globe. But is there more to this quest than meets the eye
"Cavallaro's romp delightfully ties together its multiple narrative threads with its blazingly hued full-color art, zippy wordless sequences, and high-octane action."--Kirkus
"Awesome fight sequences, imaginative onomatopoeia, and nonstop hilarity make for a brightly colored, fast-paced saga...Another on-brand entry in this fun, melting pot of mythologies."--School Library Journal
