The sequel to the number 1 New York Times best seller The Isle of the Lost

Mal’s an expert at intimidating her enemies, but she’s broken the habit since leaving her villainous roots in the back of. So when she and her friends Evie, Carlos, and Jay all receive threatening messages demanding they return home, Mal can’t consider it. Sure, she’s King Ben’s girlfriend now, and she’s regularly nice to her classmates, but she still didn’t think anyone would be silly enough to check out to push her around.

The thing is, it kind of worked. Especially since she and her friends have a sneaking suspicion that their villainous parents are in the back of the messages. And when Evie looks into her Magic Mirror, what she sees only confirms their fears. Maleficent’s just a tiny lizard after her run-in with Mal at Ben’s Coronation, but she’s the worst villain in the land for a reason. Could she have found a way to escape? Whatever’s going on, Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay know they’ve to sneak back to the Isle and resolve it.

Without its infamous leader, the island’s even worse than when they left it, but the comforts of home-even a home as gloomy as the Isle of the Lost-can also be hard to withstand for recently reformed villains. Will the kids be capable to beat the evil bubbling at the Isle’s wicked core, or will the plot to destroy Auradon succeed?
