**Thrilling, intense, with pulse-pounding chills . . . Everything you
could want in a series. --Soman Chainani, New York Times bestselling

New York Times bestselling authors Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs
co-author another edge-of-your-seat adventure in this darkly suspenseful
middle grade series.
Nico, Opal, Tyler, Emma, and Logan survived their worst fears come to
life, and saved their tiny Pacific Northwest town of Timbers from a
monstrous figment invasion. Now they just want to keep their heads down,
enjoy Halloween, and explore the secrets of their mysterious houseboat
clubhouse. And also figure out their new Torchbearer responsibilities as
keepers of the Darkdeep, an ancient whirlpool hidden in Still Cove that
can make both dreams and nightmares into reality.
But when a dangerous new breed of figments starts appearing on their
own, and the very environment around them begins to spiral out of
control, the friends realize they have no idea what they are doing--or
how they're supposed to restrain the Darkdeep. They must uncover the
pool's origins, as well as those of the freaky Thing in a Jar, a
seemingly lifeless green creature Opal believes is communicating with
her. To make matters worse, a trashy YouTube series has rolled into town
intent on finding the Beast, the legendary local sea monster suddenly
stirring up the countryside.
As threats rapidly close in around them, the friends must fight to
protect their secrets, defeat new enemies, and save Timbers and all that
they love.
Told from alternating points of view, this chilling sequel from
bestselling duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs will once again have
readers sleeping with the lights on.
