Brought to you by Puffin.

The breathtaking adventure continues in the sequel to the much-loved Orphans of the Tide.

Orphans Ellie and Seth have crossed an endless ocean in search of freedom and peace.

Arriving on the shores of a colourful tropical island ruled by a mysterious queen, it seems they might just have found the perfect new home.

But there is trouble brewing in paradise and soon Ellie and Seth find themselves caught up in a dangerous struggle for power - and forced to confront terrible truths from their past . . .

Praise for Orphans of the Tide:

'Unputdownable' - Times

'Enthralling' - Daily Express

'Sumptuously atmospheric . . . tirelessly inventive' - Daily Telegraph

A wonderful book I love the story line running through it

This is incredible

There’s nothing to complain about it’s a great story where you can understand the tone of the characters and how they act about certain things. For example Elle try’s to be friendly to Seth’s new friends but they don’t like her however when Elle seems to get a new friend (Kate-before she’s revealed to be the queen) he acts really jealous and horrible. It’s really interesting. I also love how the narrator reads the story she’s a nice pick.

I LOVE IT- this series I is very underrated

Great read

I loved the first book and find it a struggle having to wait a while year for book 2. When I started reading it I decided to add the audiobook so I could also listen whilst not able to read. I don't always get along with audiobooks because of the narration. I have to say though that Laura Rollins is absolutely perfect here; I found myself listening more than reading because she tells the story so well.

Overall a great story, told brilliantly.

Brilliant book 2

This is a fab follow up to Orphans of the Tide.
There is a better formed ‘world’, a better sense of mythology, better delivered characters too.
I enjoyed the plot… but just missed the ending… because, well, it doesn’t.
I will definitely read the next book, but this one just seemed to be a vehicle to get me there and that was the disappointment at the end.
I enjoyed it - I liked the idea of the vessel who wasn’t, the influence of The Enemy on Ellie throughout and how Seth found his existence more and more difficult. The history explained through Leila’s diary was a great addition to the story, but sadly I was just left wanting closure at the end, and I don’t feel like I got it.

Somewhat better than Book 1
