A stunningly imagined world, page-turning thrills, and a pair of unlikely heroes on an epic quest make this unique and immersive dark fantasy—from acclaimed author A. J. Steiger—perfect for fans of Holly Black and Kelly Barnhill.Simon Frost lives in a curious place, where magic is used by the very best Animists to do wondrous things—like call upon imps, wraiths, and all manner of monsters to right wrongs, deliver justice, and accomplish feats no human could achieve.Simon Frost is not one of those Animists, though he’s been trying to become one for years. When a plea arrives from a distant hamlet, preyed upon by an abominable monster, Simon sees the opportunity to finally prove his worth.But upon arriving in the tiny village, Simon finds not just a monster but a key to his past—and a pathway into an unbelievable future.

But in a land of imps, wraiths, and ghasts, the most dangerous monster might be the one you’re sent to save.- Forbidden Magic: Simon was taught that some powers are too dangerous to exist. But what if the greatest threat isn’t the monster in the mountains, but the magic stirring inside him?- Deep Family Secrets: The mission to a remote village unearths the truth about his mother’s disappearance, his father’s lies, and the sister he thought he’d lost forever.- An Unlikely Hero: Fourteen-year-old Simon Frost is a failure as a magical apprentice. When he takes on a quest no one else wants, he’ll have to find a strength he never knew he had to protect an unexpected new friend.
