The second novel in the Unwritten Series continues the inside glimpse into the supernatural forces existing beyond the human realm. Five human's simple night at sea ends in being attack by unnamed assailants and saved by supernatural beings. Suddenly, they find themselves in a magical land untouched by time as they're called to give up everything to save the world. Assembling the five humans for the Serpent of Time group was easy compared with the challenge Wihni faces to train them in their dormant abilities. Sionn's reluctance to reveal his background or live up to his potential only complicates the situation. Just as the group appears to make progress, they're struck with the real toll of the self-sacrifice it takes to be heroes with the power to help humankind. Do they have what it takes to save the world from complete destruction? Secrets, lies, and adventures abound as the unlikely heroes strive to unravel their own success, the foes threatening them, and the underlying purpose of the Thirteen Skulls and Serpent of Time.
