From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Monster Calls
comes a richly illustrated and lyrical tale, one that asks harrowing
questions about power, loyalty, obsession, and the monsters we make of
others.
With harpoons strapped to their backs, the proud whales of Bathsheba's
pod live for the hunt, fighting in the ongoing war against the world of
men. When they attack a ship bobbing on the surface of the Abyss, they
expect to find easy prey. Instead, they find the trail of a myth, a
monster, perhaps the devil himself...
As their relentless Captain leads the chase, they embark on a final,
vengeful hunt, one that will forever change the worlds of both whales
and men.
With the lush, atmospheric art of Rovina Cai woven in throughout, this
remarkable work by Patrick Ness turns the familiar tale of Moby Dick
upside down and tells a story all its own with epic triumph and
devastating fate.
