Description

The incredible new novel from Ransom Riggs, set in the world of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children.

A fragile peace.
An apocryphal warning.
Chaos waiting in the heart of the storm.

With his dying words, H—Jacob's final connection to his grandfather Abe's secret life—entrusts Jacob with a mission: deliver newly contacted peculiar Noor Pradesh to an operative known only as V.

Noor is being hunted. She is the subject of an ancient prophecy, one that foretells a looming apocalypse. Save Noor, save the future of all peculiardom. But with only a few bewildering clues to follow, time is running out.

With enemies behind him and the unknown ahead, Jacob Portman's story continues as he takes a brave leap forward into The Conference of the Birds, the newest installment of the beloved, #1 bestselling Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series.
