Josh’s dream of traveling Mythelore hunting monsters with his Misfits is hanging by a thread. Candour, the mysterious spymaster, has devious plans and Melody Delaney is about to throw a spanner in the works with her volatile temper along with her undying devotion to her friends. Where there’s trouble, there’s also opportunity. If Josh can persuade her to join his team, she would add a new dimension to their monster hunting capabilities. If only Josh could navigate the perilous water of Mythelore’s political houses while adding to his team, he might still get his dream. But there is at least one more pressing matter - he has to find a way to destroy the largest monster to ever attack the land. Preferably without dying because boy he's got a lot to live for!
