When Dr. Warthrop fears that Will' s loyalties may be shifting, he turns on Will with a fury, determined to reclaim his young apprentice' s devotion. And so Will must face one of the most horrific creatures of his monstrumology career-- and he must face it alone.

In the terrifying depths of the Monstrumarium, they will face a monster more terrible than any they could have imagined-- and their fates will be decided.
