As she faces skepticism from her mother, classmates, and the new governor—who quickly marries her mother—Dare's resolve only strengthens. When she discovers evidence that monsters still exist, her world is turned upside down. With the help of an unexpected group and a stray creature, she embarks on a perilous quest to reveal the real monsters and question the nature of trust and morality.

      Between Monsters and Marvels
    • A JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD GOLD STANDARD SELECTION! A boy who underestimates his power . . . A girl with a gift long thought lost . . . A Land ready for revolution . . . The heir to the Land should be strong. Fierce. Ruthless. At least, that's what Beau's father has been telling him his whole life, since Beau is the exact opposite of what the heir should be. With little control over his future, Beau is kept locked away, just another pawn in his father's quest for ultimate power. That is, until Beau meets a girl who shows him the secrets his father has kept hidden. For the first time, Beau begins to question everything he's ever been told and sets off in search of a rebel who might hold the key to setting things right. Teaming up with a fiery runaway boy, their mission quickly turns into something far greater as sinister forces long lurking in the shadows prepare to make their final move--no matter what the cost. But it just might be Beau who wields the power he seeks . . . if he can go from pawn to player before the Land tears itself apart.
