Magic and mayhem collide in the second volume of this fantastical new series!
When your father is a powerful dark magician, you end up with a lot of interesting and dangerous things around the house β souvenirs of his many magical exploits, trophies of his many battles, even a magical prisoner or two. But Amelia Shadows's father isnβt just any powerful dark magician, he is the most powerful dark magician in the whole world! So you know her house is filled with all sorts of stuff. Very dangerous stuff. Stuff sheβs not supposed to mess with. Not that Amelia has ever been good at obeying rules.
While poking around in one of her fatherβs many trophy rooms, Amelia breaks the most important magic rule of all β when you find a mysterious box making strange noises at you, under no circumstances should you open it! Now thereβs an incredibly dangerous and ferocious creature on the loose in the Shadowsβs house, and Amelia had better find a way to get it back into its box before the head ghost Hans finds out, or even worse, her dad gets home!
