'If you want people to be more understanding, Sunny, you have to try to understand them, too . . .'
After decades of hostility, an uneasy peace has broken out between the humans and monsters of Seawaren - but trust is taking longer to build.
When Sunny's monster friend Mo is kidnapped, the trail leads to the city of Pontyme, where Mo's kind are revered as gods, responsible for keeping the island miraculously fertile.
But not all is as rosy as it seems. Sunny is suspicious of the city's charismatic leader, Hadrian, while beneath the island a darkness lurks, nursing a terrible thirst for revenge . . .
The gripping sequel to The Monsters at the End of the World, perfect for fans of The Last Bear and Skellig.
