China, 1826. The sun is setting on the golden age of piracy, and
the legendary Red Banner Fleet, the scourge of the South China Sea,
is no more. Sheltered her whole life, Xiang desperately wants to
set sail and explore like her late father. Her only memento of him
is a plain gold pendant. But the pendant's true nature is revealed
when a mysterious girl named Anh steals it, only to return it to
Xiang in exchange for her help in decoding the tiny map scroll
hidden inside. Rumour has it that the legendary Dragon Queen had
one last treasure - the plunder of a thousand ports - hidden away
on an island shrouded in mist. Eager for adventure, Xiang joins Anh
and her crew in pursuit of the fabled treasure. But they soon find
that the sea - and those who sail it - are far more dangerous than
the legends led them to believe.

The day that Christopher saved a drowning baby griffin from a hidden
lake would change his life forever.
It’s the day he learned about the Archipelago—a cluster of unmapped
islands where magical creatures of every kind have thrived for
thousands of years, until now. And it’s the day he met Mal—a girl on
the run, in desperate need of his help.
Mal and Christopher embark on a wild adventure, racing from island to
island, searching for someone who can explain why the magic is fading
and why magical creatures are suddenly dying. They consult sphinxes,
battle kraken, and negotiate with dragons. But the closer they get to
the dark truth of what’s happening, the clearer it becomes: no one else
can fix this. If the Archipelago is to be saved, Mal and Christopher
will have to do it themselves.
Katherine Rundell’s story crackles and roars with energy and delight.
It is brought vividly to life with more than 60 illustrations,
including a map and a bestiary of magical creatures.
