The second epic installment of Brandon Mull’s #1 New York Times bestselling fantasy series!
After the cliffhanger ending of A World Without Heroes, Jason is back in the world he’s always known—yet for all his efforts to get home, he finds himself itching to return to Lyrian. Jason knows that the shocking truth he learned from Maldor is precious information that all of his friends in Lyrian, including Rachel, need if they have any hope of surviving and defeating the evil emperor.
Meanwhile, Rachel and the others have discovered new enemies—as well as new abilities that could turn the tide of the entire quest. And as soon as Jason succeeds in crossing over to Lyrian, he’s in more danger than ever. Once the group reunites, they strive to convince their most-needed ally to join the war and form a rebellion strong enough to triumph over Maldor. At the center of it all, Jason and Rachel realize what roles they’re meant to play—and the answers are as surprising as they are gripping.

"One again I am amazed at the imagination Brandon Mull has on each page. Moss that grows on your skin after getting hit by a dart? Very creative. Now I have another year to wait for the next installment. I will be buying that one too! Very good clean (and not boring) read for kids and teenagers."

“An irresistible mix of adventure, humor, and magic.”
— Rick Riordan“Plenty of hard-fought skirmishes and an entertainingly diverse supporting cast keep this quest fantasy’s middle volume on the right track.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Not as good as first one but still liked it. "
— April, 2/12/2014" i like how the characters are developing, and how some of them really surprises me. will be waiting out the third book. "
— Susarah_yu, 2/8/2014" Like the first one It took me a while to really get into it but it was very interesting. I especially like their new companions. Much better than the first one I can't wait for the third one "
— Anthony, 2/2/2014" I enjoy the Beyonders series. I LOVED Fablehaven, and this one is good. Maybe not Fablehaven good, but still good. I just wish that I would have re-read the first book right before I read this one. I seem to have forgotten who almost everyone was. Ooops. I am excited for book 3! "
— Kelly, 1/26/2014" Not a cliffhanger but makes my mind wander. Which means it is a good book :D "
— Thomas, 1/9/2014" It was about the same as the first book. Could have used editing. Boring in sections. We haven't really gotten anywhere. The characters wander and they talk and they fight and it's not all that engaging. I liked the first one slightly better. I will be finishing the series. "
— Elevetha, 1/7/2014" A really great book for young readers...and those who like to think they are still young. : ) "
— Tamara, 1/6/2014" Really liked the first half of the book, but lost interest half of the way through. "
— Burningfeather, 12/25/2013" I thought it was too long; never ending hurdles to over come...and it is still not over. I don't think I will read book 3. It is not my favorite genre though, so if you like science fiction, you might really like it. "
— Julie, 12/24/2013" I really enjoyed this book. It's more Lord of the Ringsish than his Fablehaven series. "
— Derek, 11/13/2013" Good Tale for young and old alike. Can't wait for the next one. "
— Stephanie, 9/30/2013" Gotta love a book that includes zombies, wizards, and moss covered tree people. Read this book to see how all these weird things come together. :) "
— Linsey, 7/30/2013" This book was just like Mull's Fablehaven series. I liked it a lot. It was better than the first one mainly because it was more intersting. The things I dont like are how many characters were introduced. Also, waiting for another year to get the next one. "
— Austin, 7/8/2013" This book is SOOO very good! I love it! This has been an awesome series to read and I CAN'T WAIT for the last book in the set. Mull has some awesome books. I buy them all and my kids love them too! "
— Leigh, 3/28/2013" Can't wait to start the third book. "
— Mark, 3/9/2013" It started out kind of slow. No bumps in the plot line at the begining but when it got exciting... boy was it fantastic. A good read but the first book had a better beginning. "
— Angeleen, 1/8/2013" Loved it. I think I like it more than Fablehaven. "
