Alone together in a deep and dank cell, Alice reveals a secret which could turn Ewan's world upside down – again. Does she hold the answer to deciphering Ewan's disturbing reoccurring dreams? Can he ever trust the woman who wanted to see him dead?As if a shocking revelation from a new foe wasn't enough to handle, Ewan must also tackle a sea monster in the Thames, deal with the evil Rosethorn twins, come face to face with a shadow troll in a London alleyway and bargain with a crafty dragon, and attempt to find a treasure lost for over a thousand years …As the summer ends, Ewan's year long initiation into the world of creatures and the Lenitnes is finally over. But it's then when monsters of all shapes and sizes really do start leaping, clawing and flying at him thick and fast!
