Gods and Monsters

As their journey through the Boundarylands continues, Cole Slawson and his friends are beginning to discover the truth of the danger that lurks within the heart of imagination. The Royal’s power is growing ever stronger, and his desire to destroy the children increases every moment. But the travelers can’t focus on the dangers of the Pinch just yet—there are gods and monsters in the Boundary, and they’ll have to fight for their lives if they want to see their journey through to the dark heart of the land.

But when the group becomes separated in the spinning and infinite imaginary realm, they’re left weaker and more vulnerable than ever. Their enemies are circling, the Royal is reaching, and the children are realizing that they’re a part of something much bigger—and much more dangerous—than they ever could have imagined.
