Uncover adventure and dangerous secrets in book four of the New York
Times bestselling Unwanteds series, which Kirkus Reviews called "The
Hunger Games meets Harry Potter."
When hundreds of lights appear across the sea during Artimé's first
annual masquerade ball, the party is over. Artimé is under attack, and
Alex, the magical world's young mage, must prove he can handle his
newfound leadership.
Alex receives no help from Aaron, his scheming twin brother. Instead of
rallying Quill to help defend their island, Aaron disappears and happens
upon a dangerous secret hidden in the jungle--one with the potential to
give him the power he desperately desires.
Even in the midst of battle Alex hasn't forgotten his promise to rescue
his new friend Sky's mother from the volatile Pirates Island, a rocky
volcano that randomly spits fire and sinks beneath the ocean's surface
with little warning. Once the rescue team is on the way, friendships are
tested and the stakes are high. Ultimately the team discovers there are
more creatures than they ever imagined in the waters surrounding their
island chain--and not all of them are friendly.
Adventure, danger, legendary creatures, exotic beasts, and the most
unusual island so far rise up to challenge Alex and his friends from
Artimé in this thrilling continuation of Lisa McMann's The Unwanted
series.
