The Dark Water

The sequel and thrilling conclusion to the critically acclaimed The Wells End.

To escape Blake Sutton’s army Mia, Rob, and Jo jump into the newly gurgling fountain of youth and swim to the bottom. When they surface again, an astounding world awaits them. An underground civilization of humans, the keepers of the well. But instead of finding safety, Mia and her friends arrive when this civilization’s complicated politics are reaching a deadly, fevered pitch. In fact, they’re on the brink of all-out civil war — divided over whether or not to stay secluded beneath layers of rock or venture out into the world above. When the gates close, they’ll have to wait another eighteen years. But not everyone is keen on venturing out into the world above or letting the outside world in. Quickly Mia and her friends become pawns in a dangerous, high-stakes battle royale. The situation is further complicated when Mia learns her father is now being held hostage. If Mia wants her father returned to her safely, she’ll have to do everything his captor says. And if she wants to save everyone she loves, she’s got to make it to the Source before Sutton and his troops.
