Marin and Kana are the only ones who know the truth about where Line has gone, and the only way to rescue him is by doing it themselves. But Night is falling. Their island is changing.And it may already be too late.“Creepy.”—Us Weekly“Cinematic.”—Entertainment Weekly“Fall’s biggest thriller novel.”—Mashable.com“Halpern and Kujawinski invent a fascinating world that comes to life, full of intriguing monsters . . .
