Kraken monsters come from the sea. Don't they? Devora Kraken seems to have everything under control and all she could ask for. Like the neighbourhood tunnels, where she can hang out with monsters and mermaids both. If sometimes it's not clear which is which, that's only normal-right? Anyway, Devi has plenty else to keep her busy, including a good cop, bad cop set of family members. And if all of that isn't enough, there's even a cute girl at the new school across town trying to get Devi's attention! From the deep waters of the past, something wakes up and marches through Mainland. One terrible night, blood is spilt, and gangs gather in the woods. Devi's cousin, Jon, leaves for the speak-and-listen trials, and nothing will be the same again. Devi sets off on a journey of discovery that will take her from her home in Exer City across Mainland and into Craw. It won't be easy-her brother Korl refuses to talk about the past, or why Jon left. He won't speak of the gun under the bed or the pile of mermaid figurines. Korl refuses to talk about anything! What's a monster anyway? Who better than Devora Kraken to find out?
