The Lost Ones

The Lost Ones Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren DeStefano comes a journey into the darker side of Disney's Never Land--the second book in the Villains-focused Dark Ascension series, starring teenaged Captain Hook and his twin sister.

Before Captain Hook became Never Land's villain, there were two siblings seeking a home . . .

James and Marlene have always felt out of place in their humdrum fishing village, longing to escape the quiet lives their parents envision for them. But when Marlene's birthday wish transports them both to an unsettling, magical paradise called Never Land, they discover an unexpected alternative: the chance to stay forever with the charismatic Peter and his Lost Boys.

As the twins delve into the island's violent secrets, their actions reignite a conflict between the fractured Lost Boys-and for the first time in their lives, James and Marlene find themselves at odds. With a war brewing and their memories slipping away every minute they spend in Never Land, they must choose whether to stay or go. But even if the twins stand together, Never Land--and Peter--won't allow them to leave so easily.

How far are James and Marlene willing to go to chart their own destinies? And if the price for freedom is losing their true selves--and each other--is it worth the cost?

Disney Villains meets Succession in the Dark Ascension series, which explores the complex origins of memorable characters and their siblings.
