Hunting the Strange

Mullory Prudence was supposed to die. Not only that, she was never supposed to inherit Xavier Stoutmire's moody magic. But nothing about the Mystery Royale went according to plan. Now Mullory's left with more questions than answers, the most pressing one being how to use her mother's grave-defying shadow. And when her mother sends her on a dizzying scavenger hunt that spans everywhere from the Stoutmire estate (now all the more glamorous in its winter splendor) to a hidden magical corner of Coney Island, she'll have to team up with unlikely allies to find her way.Family secrets and threats abound in this thrilling sequel to Mystery Royale as Mullory returns to Stoutmire manor amidst new powers, puzzling questions, and an even deadlier mystery. One thing she knows for certain: the games are far from over.
