Horn Book (Mon Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2019)

Cursed into half-beasts by a ritual, Ji and his friends are gradually becoming even less human. Fleeing the Summer Queen's minions, our heroes make a desperate journey to break the spell before they are sacrificed to empower her fanatical heir. This stirring sequel to Beast & Crown considers weighty questions about morality, conflict, and the measure of one's worth, bolstered by the strong bonds of the heroic quintet.

From Texas Bluebonnet Award winner Joel Ross, author of The Fog Diver, comes the second book in his sweeping fantasy duology.

Ji and his friends Roz, Sally, and Chibo have gone into hiding following the disastrous Diadem Rite, where they were transformed from humans into half-beasts. It’s their hope that they will survive the epic journey to the Ice Witch to be restored to humans again before they run out of time.

But they know the evil Summer Queen’s soldiers are tracking them and fear that she is hot on their (at times abnormally large and fluffy) tails…

With the help of goblins, ogres, trolls, and a few mermaids along the way, Ji and his band of unlikely heroes must save their world from being eternally divided.

Ross’s smart and fast-paced writing, paired with an addictive, suspenseful, and funny storyline, will leave readers hanging on every word. Fans will cheer for this endearing crew of servants, led by the amazing and dynamic Ji, who are changed forever and must fight for their freedom.
