Ferals #2: The Swarm Descends

The sinister Spinning Man has been defeated—but a powerful new villain has risen from the shadows. Ferals: The Swarm Descends is the second book in a dark middle grade fantasy series that’s part Batman, part The Graveyard Book, and all high-stakes adventure.

The Mother of Flies has eyes everywhere, and she is searching for Caw. As the last survivor of a long line of crow ferals, Caw holds a crucial piece of Blackstone’s legacy—one the Mother of Flies will stop at nothing to find.

With his friend Lydia and his loyal crows by his side, Caw believes he can protect his city. But it will take more than crows to defeat this darkness....

When Caw successfully defeated the Spinning Man, he was sure that Blackstone would be safe.

He was wrong.

The villainous ferals have found a new leader, one who has been quietly biding her time since the days of the Dark Summer. And Caw has something she wants—something she needs. With Lydia and his loyal crows by his side, Caw believes he can protect himself and his city. But the Mother of Flies won’t stop hunting Caw until she has claimed her victory . . . and it will take more than crows to defeat her.

“I need your help,” said Caw. “I have something to show you.”

The man’s eyes fixed on the object in Caw’s palm.

“No,” he said, backing away.

“Come back,” said Caw. “What’s wrong?”

“That’s what she wants.”
