humanity's only hope is leven thumps. not only must leven race across foo to stop the whispered secret before the deadly truth is revealed, but he must also travel to the mysterious island of lith. there abides the want, the maniac dream-master who can give leven the gifts he needs against a foreboding army of rants and other foo beings. our hero, leven, starts his journey in a hotel with geth, clover, and winter. later in the night, the whispered secret speaks to leven. the secret it holds is the secret of the sycophants, explaining how sycophants die. the secret blackmails leven with the life of clover (the secret will kill clover if leven refuses to give it its key). leven gives it the key, but then sees the secret sell himself to a man, who buries it. soon, the sycophant population on sycophant run hears through the lore coil that the sycophant secret has been revealed. meanwhile, tim tuttle meets dennis and ezra. dennis is already being controlled by sabine, and gives tim a wristband which poisons tim with the influence of sabine. the trio carjacks a van and then starts driving across the u.s. to get to the atlantic ocean. dennis, tim, and ezra start building the gateway. when dennis is gone, tim remembers a secret: he hates dennis. with this knowledge, he believes that he has the power to fight off the influence of sabine. when leven and clover get separated from winter and geth, their onick takes them to lith, the island where the want resides. once the duo gets to lith, they meet the want. he looks like a human with a long, red beard. leven starts feeling powerful emotions, because the want sees every dream that comes in and out of foo. the want takes leven to a room known as the den of the dead, where antsel comes alive and gets the scoop on how things are in foo. leven then learns more about his past and sees his mother. leven is then taken up to a high tower where the want wants to have a chat. the want says that tonight he’ll ask leven to do a great task for him. leven will have to listen to his voice, and do what it instructs. winter and geth’s onick flies them to a random place, where they are captured by azure, an old defendant of foo who has turned to sabine’s side. azure takes them the hall of the council of wonder, the meeting place of the defendants of foo where he tortures geth by reading the names of the previous defendants who have died. azure also says that he has tricked the want into releasing the dearth, the evil soil under foo that has been controlling sabine, into coming to foo where it will mesh foo and reality if it gets above ground. azure then takes all of them to lith, where he imprisons geth, winter, and two of his other servants in one cell. on the way, azure tells geth and winter that he is destroying them and leven in exchange for the location and instructions to open the second gateway to foo. once winter and geth are in the cell, lith starts sinking, but winter cleverly finds a way out. meanwhile, tim tuttle falls out of a tree and is knocked unconscious. dennis and ezra leave him because ezra gets a sense that there’s another gateway, so dennis follows him. tim has a sudden revelation and remembers the gateway. he dives in the konigsee and gets to foo. leven is alone in a building on the want’s instructions. leven listens to the want’s voice saying “come.” the want is trying to get leven to destroy him (he's old and tired of life). leven then hears a voice in his head telling him to thrust a sword into the darkness. he thinks it's someone warning him of danger. in self-defense, he strikes, then realizes he has killed the want. with his dying breath, the want reveals that he is in reality the third want, and leven’s grandfather, hector thumps. hector was the one who started the whole thing by finding a way out of foo. he also tells leven that he was sick of being the want, and had planned for a long time to have leven "accidentally" kill him. the want also reveals that whoever kills the want, becomes the want. before hector dies, he wishes leven luck in saving foo. soon, leven reunites with geth, winter, and clover. leven being the want is very startling to his friends, especially winter, who has developed a deep love for leven in the end.
