ABOUT THE BOOK
Medusa aimed her poisoned arrow right at Lillian ...
Lillian always loved stories about myths and monsters--until she found herself inside one, fighting for her life!
Joined by her best friends, Katy and Maisy, Lillian must cross a sea guarded by Krakens and sirens, race through a dark forest haunted by elves and chimeras, and cross mountains ruled by griffins and rocs.
Where in this world is Lillian's sister? Who is the mysterious boy with the stone medallion? Why do the monsters hold an ancient grudge against humanity? And what is the secret hiding at the heart of it all?
REVIEWS
"A fast-paced YA novel that transports readers to a world filled with magic and peril." -- Kirkus Reviews
"You soon become intertwined in a journey of imagination that will lock you in ... Her character development is top-notch ... Her ability to move the story along at just the right pace is excellent, and she gives enough in this first book to leave you with, 'I just have to know what's next.'" Shirley Johnson/Senior Reviewer, MidWest Book Review
"The book's pace is fast and furious. Duffie excels at describing new areas of the Monster Realm and with just a few sentences, she captures the sights, smells and feel of these unique places. It almost feels like someone is excitedly telling you about their intricate, wild dream." -- Portland Book Review
"I loved this book! The adventure leads to a chimera, wood elves, a roc, carnivorous flowers, a griffin, and so much more! A good book for kids who like monsters and mythology." - San Francisco Book Review
