Ella Jones saved the world from an eternity of darkness in Ella

Jones vs the Sun Stealer. Now she must face the god Homados, who

is hunting Hercules' famous shield.

His plan is to throw the world into chaos by

increasing battle-noise until it's unbearable for man - the only

thing that helps drown out the noise? Their own rage. Their fury.

Their hate. As people come to realise this, they will begin to fight

until the world descends into war and he, Homados, will grow

more and more powerful. Ella, blind for two years and used to filtering

out noise around her to calmly navigate her surroundings,

is the hero the world needs. Her quest - alongside

her guide dog Miss Maisie, her best friend Finn, sister Poppy

and a mysterious new kid at school, River - will see her journey

to a remote island and encounter villains new and old...
