Dark Queen Carlotta is said to hide sea creatures and steal their powers, creating the book’s central threat.
The central conflict involves creatures being hidden, their powers being stolen and a possible entrapment inside an egg. The pursuit by skeletal coral monsters may merit checking in with a sensitive reader.
