Island of Silence
Book 2 of the The Unwanteds series
416 pages · First published 2012
With the barrier between Quill and Artimé opened, Alex Stowe and his friends are learning that winning a battle does not guarantee lasting peace. As newcomers enter their magical haven, Alex continues developing his creative powers—and questions whether he is ready for the responsibility Mr. Today wants him to accept. Meanwhile, his twin brother Aaron, furious over his lost status in Quill, secretly plots his return to power. The arrival of two silent, orange-eyed strangers hints at dangers beyond the worlds the Unwanteds already know. Pick this up when you’re in the mood for imaginative magic, uneasy alliances, and an adventure that leaves you reaching for the next book.
