When [[Alcatraz]] and [[Leavenworth Smedry|Grandpa Smedry]] make a pilgrimage to the [[Free Kingdoms|Free Kingdom]] city of [[Nalhalla]], the Smedry home base, Alcatraz is shocked to see that he is, in fact, a legend. When he was a baby he was stolen by the Evil [[Librarian]]s, and his [[Shasta Smedry|mother]], a Librarian herself, was behind the whole scheme. Now, with his estranged [[Attica Smedry|father]], who is acting indeed strange; [[Bastille]], who has been stripped of her armor; and Grandpa Smedry, who is, as always, late to everything (that’s his Talent), Alcatraz tries to save a city under siege. From who? Why, the Librarians of course!

 

Epilogue – Attica makes a grand announcement to the council that he has discovered how the Smedrys gained their Talents and that with some more research, he can give them to everyone. He’s disappointed to learn from Alcatraz that Shasta has stolen the book he needs. Alcatraz is worried about his father’s discovery and plans to watch him and stop him if necessary.
