From the author of Queen of Hearts comes the much anticipated
sequel to Wendy Darling. Wendy Darling: Seas finds Wendy and
Michael aboard the dreaded Sudden Night, a dangerous behemoth
sailed by the infamous Captain Hook and his blood-thirsty crew. In
this exotic world of mermaids, spies and pirate-feuds, Wendy finds
herself struggling to keep her family above the waves. Hunted by
the twisted boy who once stole her heart and struggling to survive
in the whimsical Neverland sea, returning home to London now seems
like a distant dream-and the betrayals have just begun. Will Wendy
find shelter with Peter's greatest enemy, or is she a pawn in a
much darker game, one that could forever alter not only her
family's future, but also the soul of Neverland itself?
"A dark twist on a familiar tale that readers will have difficulty
putting down." (School Library Journal)Wendy Darling has a
perfectly agreeable life with her parents and brothers in wealthy
London, as well as a budding romance with Booth, the neighborhood
bookseller's son. But one night, while their parents are at a ball,
the charmingly beautiful Peter Pan comes to the Darling children's
nursery, and-dazzled by this flying boy with god-like powers-they
follow him out of the window and straight on to morning into
Neverland, an intoxicating island of freedom. As time passes in
Neverland, Wendy realizes that this Lost Boy's paradise of
turquoise seas, mermaids, and pirates holds terrible secrets rooted
in blood and greed. As Peter's grasp on her heart tightens, she
struggles to remember where she came from-and begins to suspect
that this island of dreams, and the boy who desires her, have the
potential to transform into an everlasting nightmare. As time
passes in Neverland, Wendy realizes that this Lost Boy's paradise
of turquoise seas, mermaids, and pirates holds terrible secrets
rooted in blood and greed. As Peter's grasp on her heart tightens,
she struggles to remember where she came from-and begins to suspect
that this island of dreams, and the boy who desires her, have the
potential to transform into an everlasting nightmare.
Wendy Darling has found herself once again in the arms of charming
Peter Pan, the god-child who desires power above all things. This
time, though, Wendy burns not with passion but with a secret: with
Hook as her ally, she is there to defeat the evil that lies inside
of Peter, the evil that holds all Neverland hostage-the Shadow. To
do this, Wendy must quietly undo Peter from inside his heart while
at the same time convincing Tink to betray the twisted love that
binds them together. This is a task made nearly impossible by the
arrival of Booth, her sweetheart from London and a new pawn in
Peter's manipulative game-a boy whose heart she must break in order
to save his life. As all of Neverland prepares to fight, Wendy
races to untangle Peter's connection to the Shadow, a secret long
buried in the Forsaken Garden. When the time comes, pirates,
mermaids, Lost Boys, and the Darling family will all rise-but if
Wendy can't call the Shadow, they will all be destroyed by Peter's
dark soul. War has come to paradise, and Neverland will never be
the same. Wendy Darling: Shadow is the thrilling final installment
in Colleen Oakes's Wendy Darling Trilogy.
The first novel in Colleen Oakes's epic, imaginative series tells
the origin of one of the most infamous villains-the Queen of
Hearts. This is not the story of the Wonderland we know. Alice has
not fallen down a rabbit hole. This is a Wonderland where beneath
each smile lies a secret, each tart comes with a demand, and only
prisoners tell the truth. Dinah is the princess who will one day
reign over Wonderland. She has not yet seen the dark depths of her
kingdom; she longs only for her father's approval and a future with
the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and
threatens her throne, she is launched into Wonderland's dangerous
political game. Dinah must stay one step ahead of her cunning
enemies or she'll lose not just the crown but her head.
