Frequently asked questions

  • Does this book require reading the previous series first?

    While this story takes place in the same universe four years after the events of the original series, it functions as a new entry point with a largely different cast of characters. You can follow the plot without prior knowledge, though returning characters and references to past events provide additional context for those familiar with the earlier books.

  • Is this book part of a larger series?

    This title serves as the first installment in a three-book arc often referred to as the Monster trilogy or Season Two of the broader saga. The narrative continues through the subsequent books titled Villain and Hero.
