Perfect for fans of Aru Shah and the End of Time and Amari and the Night Brothers, this sequel to Ciannon Smart's Rayleigh Mann in the Company of Monsters takes Rayleigh and his friends on a thrilling treasure hunt through Below-London to unravel a monstrous mystery.
On the previous All Hallows' Eve, Rayleigh was just a typical Londoner. Or he thought he was.
Now Rayleigh has embraced his monster heritage, passed all the tests to stay in Below-London with the rest of monster society, and even saved his father--the Bogey Mann--from the notorious Illustrious Society.
But his adventures are far from over.
Though Rayleigh is supposed to be staying far away from trouble, it's found him once again. As strange shadows begin to reach out to him for help and clues begin to fall into place, Rayleigh and his new friends are embroiled in a mysterious treasure hunt to prevent Below-London from falling into chaos--and not the good kind, this time.
Fans of The School for Good and Evil and Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky will thrill as they and Rayleigh return to Below-London--soaring across the city, exploring libraries that disregard the rules of space and time, and meeting new friends as they uncover a sinister plot and embark on another unforgettable adventure.
Ciannon Smart lives neither here nor there and writes stories about similar places. Convinced the Bad Guys have received an unfair edit, she's dedicated her middle grade career to straightening this up. In the Night Things universe, her characters can be found defeating the Really Bad Guys. Usually with awesome weapons. Always with brilliant humor. Humility too. Now, these villains aren't to be confused with the Really, Really Bad Guys she writes about in her young adult stories, Witches Steeped in Gold and Empress Crowned in Red. When not fighting all caliber of villain, Ciannon Smart sleeps, because defeating evil is an exhausting superpower. You can learn more about her at ciannonsmart.com.
