Summary

After being forced to go back to the Underland, Gregor, Boots, and their mom discover that the reason for the Underlanders' desperation was because of a dangerous plague called the Curse of the Warmbloods that has struck the warmbloods of the Underland. Gregor, Boots, and some other bunch of people has to travel through the jungle and into the Vineyard of Eyes to harvest the starshade (the cure for the Curse of the Warmbloods). Of course, there's the ever-present prophecy to think about. And the one particular reoccuring stanza of the prophecy is the most important of all.
