The blockbuster middle-grade series by New York Times bestselling
authors Ally Condie and Brendan continues in this edge-of-your-seat
adventure that's Stranger Things meets The Goonies.
After the events of Dark Halloween, the town of Timbers is in a
full-blown monster panic, making life for the Torchbearers--Opal, Nico,
Tyler, Emma, and Logan--extremely difficult. Nico is investigating the
Rift and the strange natural phenomena that continue to occur, all while
worrying about his dad's potential work transfer. Opal has her hands
full researching the founding Torchbearer, Yvette Dumont, and
deciphering clues from another realm sent by the mysterious Thing In a
Jar. Emma's wildly popular YouTube show has brought her new-found fame,
but also earned her some enemies. Logan is trying to unlock secrets in
his own family history that might shed light on how the Torchbearer
Order began, while Tyler, as the self-proclaimed Beastmaster, strives to
commune with--and not be eaten by--the mercurial and deadly alien sea
creature living in Still Cove.
But that's not all. Something cryptic has surfaced from within the
Darkdeep. Questions arise, and the five friends find themselves suddenly
at odds. The stakes climb even higher when an enigmatic new girl comes
to town, with an agenda of her own. As the Torchbearers discover
shocking secrets about their houseboat hangout, the Rift, and the
Darkdeep itself, signs point to new realms beyond the ones they know,
putting their friendships to the test as never before . . .
Told from alternating POVs, this thrilling next book from bestselling
duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs will once again have readers sleeping
with the lights on.
