The world she knows has come to an end…When the Black Carriage kidnaps Wilona Bumbridge from the streets of London, her life immediately appears to improve. She's taken to a place with other children and given a bed of her own and food at every meal, things she’s never been able to count on before. But when it soon becomes clear that their captor is not as human as he seems, and that even the beds and food disguise his nefarious plans for the children, Wilona realizes that escape is their only hope for survival.From London to the English countryside to a spaceship with a view among the stars, her perilous journey has merely begun. With nothing more than the advice of a redheaded girl who hides secrets of her own, Wilona and the other children must fight together to defeat a monster whose evil extends across the universe.

A new world of terror is here…After the dangers on Yunon’s ship, the survivors of Earth face horrors unimaginable as they become trapped on the zoo-like planet of Dart. The system keeping the creatures in their habitats is broken, and soon Wilona Bumbridge and her fellow castaways find themselves surrounded by monsters—but only time will tell if the monsters from this alien world are more dangerous than the ones lurking inside themselves…As children begin to go missing and the ghosts that haunt this two-sunned planet appear, Wilona realizes that Dart’s worst secrets are yet to be revealed. Will she be the next to die? Will the Riclon, the guardians of Dart, return the planet to order before it’s too late? For Wilona, only one thing is certain: when it comes to the choice to surrender or fight, she will fight.
