A girl seeks a mysterious box to escape a mansion of secrets and sea monsters.
Trapped in a decaying mansion surrounded by sea monsters, young storyteller Sophie Seacove must uncover the secrets of a mysterious Monster Box. As she navigates dangerous attacks and unravels the mansion's dark past, Sophie hopes the box holds the key to her freedom and reunion with her family. But with sinister forces against her, can she outsmart the threats and escape the island alive?
Sophie Seacove is a storyteller. She tells stories of what the world would be like if madness hadn’t taken over. If her parents hadn’t sold her off as a servant to pay for their passage out of London. If she wasn’t now trapped in a decaying mansion filled with creepy people and surrounded by ravenous sea monsters. The mansion has plenty of stories, too: About fantastical machines, and the tragic inventor who created them. About his highly suspicious death. And about the Monster Box, a mysterious object hidden in the house that just might hold the key to escaping this horrible place—and to reuniting Sophie with her family. But not everyone wants Sophie to have the Monster Box, and as she gets closer to finding it, she finds herself unspooling years-old secrets—and dodging dangerous attacks. Sophie needs to use her brains, her brawn, and her unbreakable nature if she wants to make it off this wretched island…and live to tell this story.
