Beasts of the Uncanny Wild (Creatures of the in Between #2)
by Cindy Lin (Author)
Prince Jin and his companions face new adventures, new dangers, and more mythical beasts in this thrilling sequel to Creatures of the In Between, perfect for fans of Princess Mononoke and How to Train Your Dragon and featuring an immersive blend of East and Southeast Asian mythology.
Prince Jin is now the emperor of the Three Realms. His first task? Bring the uncanny creatures back to his home.
Yet his attempts are plagued at every turn. And when the magical creatures--even Jin's own monstermates--begin to act out in strange and alarming ways, the situation only gets worse.
Jin's search for answers leads him to the very place from which all monsters originate: deep within the Uncanny Wild, where sacred peaks are surrounded by a primordial forest...from which no one has ever returned.
But as Jin and his friends make their way through the enchanted lands, Jin realizes that all is not as it seems. The enemy that waits for him there is not who he expected--and that's just the beginning.
Fans of Dragon Pearl and When the Sea Turned to Silver will thrill at this next step of Jin's action-packed journey as he faces greater odds than ever before with his friends by his side.
