“Life is very complicated. Filled with dreams and adventures, and disasters and broken hearts, too.” 

After barely surviving a terrible storm, Alex and his friends have crashed on a mysterious island and discover they’re not alone. Their new friends are kind but seem to be hiding something from them. They try to find a way off the island which seems impossible but they must return to Artime. Aaron has aligned himself with a powerful new ally. His power is growing and he has a plan. The two of them enact a risky and drastic plan to take over Artime once and for all but Aaron doesn't realise the danger he puts all of Quill and Artime in the process.

The stakes are higher than ever in McMann’s 5th book in the Unwanted Series. As ever, the world building is fantastic and there's some incredible twists. The new characters add incredible depth to the world. It has even more action packed adventure and magic than ever.
