Elijah, with the help of his friend Ivy, the unacknowledged daughter of The Overseer of Portland, must accept that it is time to risk it all.

A troubled boy and unlikely hero, Elijah must not only face the dangers of ravenous wolves and murderous mermaids, but his father, his emotions, and a troubled past. The next big thing in young adult literature has arrived.
