A magical reckoning against the dark

Ix Tatterfall’s unusual abilities have prepared her for the Labyrinth of Souls, but not for the Nowhere Beast: a shadow creature visible only to her. As ghosts rise from the catacombs, Ix and her friends enter the Reckoning, an old tradition meant to strengthen the protections around their magical school. The ritual becomes a race to stop the Beast from consuming what Ix holds dear. The sequel brings together a school under threat, creatures from the Labyrinth, and a heroine facing both an external monster and the darkness she carries within. Loneliness, fear, friendship, and the boundary between protection and danger shape its fantasy adventure.

  • Readers ages 9–12, the age group listed in the book metadata.

Book overview

In the sequel to darkly inventive The Labyrinth of Souls, a girl must face a mysterious monster made of nothing but darkness and shadows that no one else can see.

For fans of Tim Burton, V.E. Schwab, and stories with a dash of the strange and macabre.


Ix Tatterfall is no stranger to the odd and the eerie. Her unusual lineage provides unique abilities, such as a strong Darklight power and unencumbered travel into the deadly Labyrinth of Souls. But even Ix is unprepared for the Nowhere Beast, a creature that threatens to consume everything she holds dear.

When the ghosts of Candle Corps past begin to rise from the catacombs, Ix and her friends are called to partake in an ancient magical tradition called the Reckoning, meant to reinforce the seals of protection at their magical school that hold the most dangerous Nightmare creatures from the Labyrinth at bay.

But the Reckoning quickly transforms into more than a test of their courage and skill; it is a race against time to save their world from the monstrous shadow beast created from the hopeless depths of Nothing from a land called Nowhere.

With the help of a mischievous Sorrow, a shadowy Scavenger Prince, and her loyal friends, Ix must navigate the pits of loneliness and confront her deepest fears. But does she know that the darkness inside her heart can be just as treacherous as the monster lurking in the shadows?
