Connie is a member of the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures and the only one who can talk to animals and the mythical creatures she has vowed to protect. But now something dark is calling her, giving her a dangerous power. When her strange behaviour means Connie is rejected by the secret society she runs away and finds solace among the wounded mythical creatures the Society and the world have long since forgotten. But even here she can't block out the dark voice in her head. Who is it and where does it come from? And why does Connie feel so terrified by the power it gives her? Perfect for fans of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, this is a classic adventure story with a very modern twist!
