Ship Of Fools — Michael John Melton

Agi successfully survives her first brush with evil, and is happy to get to her friends, and more importantly to Colin. Everything goes according to plan, until Agi and Colin venture outside the conservatory, and discover an even greater evil. But, this time she would not have the advantage of surprise, this evil has known about her since the day she was born, and was waiting for her. Again, Agi refuses to run away, and upon entering the belly of the beast, Agi learns where she really came from, and the truth about the Redshield family.
