Neverland was never as innocent as the stories claim. When Wendy Darling grows up and Peter Pan forgets her name, a new generation of Lost Boys and Lost Girls discovers that the island's magic is failing - the pixie dust is running out, the mermaids are turning hostile, and something ancient is stirring beneath the Mermaid Lagoon. Tiger Lily's daughter, Aiyana, must unite pirates, fairies, and forgotten children in a desperate race against the Shadow King, a specter born from every child who ever grew up and forgot how to fly. Packed with sword duels, fairy magic, pirate mutiny, mermaid treachery, eternal youth, buried treasure, and a ticking crocodile that never stops hunting - this is Neverland like you've never seen it: darker, wilder, and closer to breaking than ever before.
