About this ebook

Sequel to the award-winning Order of the Key

 

Kyp Franklin can't move on. One year after his mother officially declared war against him, Kyp
is still struggling to find his feet as the Order of the Key's new leader. He's far too concerned
about tracking her down before she causes even more damage than she already has. In fact, that's
all he's been doing. Until one day, after a particularly reckless mission, he returns to find a

surprising visitor on his doorstep...

 

Jacklyn Madison can't move on. One year after she left the Order, she has a new team, and a new
mission. She's determined to close all the interdimensional rifts between our world and the Dusk,
before more people die trying to stop the creatures that pass through them. But a vision she had
while on the edge of death leads her to the one place she never intended to return …

Forced to work together, Jacklyn, Kyp, and their respective teams uncover Lavinia's next plan:
an alarming mix of magic and science the likes of which has never been seen before. Jacklyn and
Kyp must learn to work together again and confront the demons of their past if they're going to
stop Lavinia and those assisting her before their larger plan is put into action--a plan that could

bring the monsters of the Dusk to our world...forever.

Author

Justine Manzano

Justine Manzano is the geeky author of geeky YA novels. Her fiction is tough on the outside and sweet on the inside, like an M&M or a hard candy with a gooey center, delivered with sass and snark. A freelance editor, she also serves as an Editor-in-Residence at WriteHive. A proud Bronxite, born and raised, Justine lives there with her writer/editor husband, Ismael, her amazing son, and a cacophony of cats. She and her husband often spend nights sharing the couch as they watch television, laptop to laptop, communicating in that nearly telepathic fashion that comes with years of marriage. Together, they work to raise their own little padawan in the way of the geek. This project is developing quite well so far. She and can usually be found at all the usual social media haunts. If you’ve looked in all these places and can’t find her, she’s probably off reading fanfiction. She’ll be back soon.
