Synopsis

'I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect' - V. E. Schwab, Sunday Times bestselling author of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil

A cosy, enchanting story about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place. The House in the Cerulean Sea is an uplifting, heart-warming queer fantasy from TJ Klune, a Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author.

***This edition includes a beautiful sprayed edge, perfect for fans and collectors***

Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he's spent many dull years monitoring their orphanages.

Then one day, Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where six dangerous children reside - including the Antichrist.

At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. And as Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose: his duty or his dreams . . .

Continue the adventure with the second instalment in the Cerulean Chronicles, Somewhere Beyond the Sea.

'A modern fairy tale . . . It's a beautiful book' - Charlaine Harris, number one New York Times bestselling author
