Marsyas Island has always been a sanctuary for Arthur Parnassus, once an orphan himself and now headmaster of a home for six magical children society deems too dangerous to love. With Linus Baker by his side, and friends who’ve become family, Arthur works tirelessly to ensure no child suffers the neglect he once endured.
But peace is fragile. When he’s summoned to publicly confront the darkest parts of his past, Arthur becomes the reluctant face of a larger fight—one that could determine the future of all magical people. And when a new child arrives, calling himself monster, Arthur fears the identity he fought so hard to protect may shatter everything.
This is a story of chosen family, resistance, and love that refuses to back down.
