new home is perfect.
But Emily ruins everything by waking the kraken, the legendary sea monster, from its hundred-year sleep. As the kraken rises from the deep, putting the future of the islanders at risk, she makes a desperate attempt to save them. But she could never have dreamt that an old enemy was about to turn up...
