Description

Sam's life has always been strange, being half monster and half fairy, but now he holds an even bigger secret - the power to bring monsters to life. When Queen Maggie discovers Sam's ability, she demands he create a legion of vile ogres for her. Sam refuses, prompting Queen Maggie to threaten everything he loves. As tensions escalate, a final battle looms that will determine the fate of Sam and all of monsterkind. This marks the climax of T.C. Shelley's magical fantasy trilogy, appealing to fans of Jennifer Bell, Sophie Anderson, and Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book.
