About the Book
Gregor returns to the Underland to fulfill another prophecy, this time involving a giant white rat called the Bane whose death may prevent a war—but as Gregor and his friends navigate treacherous journeys through water and ice, he begins to question whether prophecy should determine a person's choices. A strong second installment that deepens the series' themes and darkens its tone.
