It chronicles the adventures of Gregor and his sister Boots in the beautiful and mysterious world hidden beneath New York City. After Gregor and the Second Prophecy, the boy's family believes they have finally escaped the strange world of the Underdark by averting the war foretold by the second of Sandwich's prophecies. But the boy still waits for news, because before leaving the Underdark, another prophecy was delivered to him: the Blood Prophecy. This time, the threat is not a war or conflict between the inhabitants of the Underdark, but a terrible flea-borne disease that threatens the lives of all warm-blooded beings in this parallel world. Unfortunately, the prophecy foretells that both Gregor and Boots must return, for only with their presence can this plague be vanquished. But it's no surprise that the children's mother is unwilling to let her sons return to the Underdark, even if it costs the lives of some of Gregor's dearest companions. Finally, with the promise of care, the boys are allowed to return... as long as their mother goes with them. Now, the Surface Warrior must worry not only about the curse and the terrible disease spreading among his friends, but also about his little sister, who always seems to get into trouble, and his mother, who won't take her eyes off her boy.
