About this ebook

A risky decision endangers both Artimé and Quill in book five of the New York Times bestselling Unwanteds series, which Kirkus Reviews called “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter.”

Alex and his friends from Artimé are stranded on a newly discovered island after barely surviving a storm that destroys their ship. And it turns out they’re not alone…

Back in Quill, Aaron’s power base grows as he aligns himself with an unlikely ally. Together, the two enact a drastic, risky plan to finally conquer Artimé—a plan that could ultimately leave everyone in both Artimé and Quill in far more danger than Aaron realizes.

Ratings and reviews

If you like action packed books, this series is for you. Although it is unrealistic that two teen-aged boys rise to rule separate kingdoms, this is a piece of art. Lisa McMann paints a picture perfect portrait of a colorless world rivaling against a world full of color. The problem is, I could not put the book down. This is a must read series.

There are so many enemies it kind of makes it confusing. First Justine, then Aaron, and now Gondoleery. Its really annoying and she should stick with one enemy at a time. Can't wait for island of dragons though

Haven't read it yet (obviously) but I bet it will be as the others. Can't wait! p.s. Can't believe that Alex fell off a waterfall
