Moll Pecksniff and her friends are living as outlaws in a secret cave by the sea, desperate to stay hidden from the Shadowmasks. But further along the coast lies the Amulet of Truth, the only thing powerful enough to force the Shadowmasks back and contain their dark magic. So, together with Gryff, the wildcat that’s always by her side, and her best friends Alfie and Sid, Moll must sneak past smugglers, outwit mer creatures and crack secret codes to save the Old Magic.
With more at stake than ever before and the dark magic rising fast, can Moll and her friends stop the Shadowmasks before it’s too late?

Reviews
Thrilling, breathless and beautifully told. This book (Unlike some series) is just as amazing as the first story. Would recommend to anyone who is a fan of tales like Harry Potter, The Hobit or any fast paced adventure book.
Wasn’t the best but it was okay
It was a bit scary but it was an amazing book with lots of surprises. I thought it was a great book because I read volume one and am now moving onto volume three!
Pure magic, it brings the story alive and sets your heart ablaze.
Can Moll, Gryff, Siddy and Alfie outwit 2 more shadowmasks and find her ma's soul; the second amulet?
with the help of some bone readings and an oracle spirit, Willow, the team must battle their way past selkies and cursed owls and follow the silence to the blinking eye.
great book
I think it would be exciting to have a secret cave by the sea that I could go to with my friends. I did wonder whether they would be scared of being there on their own I would recommend this book to others to read
This book was amazing! I'm reading the third book at the moment and it also is pretty good. The ending was kind of sad thoough.
This is the 2nd book in a trilogy. I loved it. It’s an adventure book about people stopping evil spreading on the land.
Crazy cool
Another cracking adventure for Moll, Gryff the wildcat and her friends, Siddy and Alfie. This time the action has moved from the forest to the coast, as Moll tries to locate the second amulet, pursued by the Dark Magic of the Shadow Masks. An exciting read, where danger and disaster are never far away.
I loved this book (fiction)! It was exciting, imaginative, magical and adventurous. My favourite character was Molly and her wild cat Gryff. It is one of the best books I have read this summer.
My favourite character is Gryff the wildcat. I would recommend it to people who like adventure stories.
I loved this book, every time I read one of Abi Elphinstone's books I want to find out more. I enjoyed reading this book and will definitely read the next story in this series.
Moll/ Griff/ Siddy/ Alfie are in danger as they go on an adventure.
This is the second book in a trilogy and the main character has to find the second amulet. I thought this book was amazing because there was lots of description and old magic.
This exciting page turner is about a girl called Moll and her wildcat. Together they must stop the dark magic and destroy the Shadow Masks.
brilliant
luv this book
Follow on to: The dream snatcher. Just as thrilling as the first!! Can't wait to read the last book! I didn't want the book to end. It was a bit sad at the end and on and off through-out the book.
I like the part where they follow silence to the blinking eye
This definitely one of my favourite books ever.
This is a fantastic book telling the story of moll and her wildcat gryff.
I love this!
It was cool , they had to get through the clues to find the next clue to catch the shadow master.
It is very good and once you start reading it you can't put it down. If you like Harry Potter you will like this.
I really liked this book because it had lots of suspense in it and my favourite characters are Siddy and Moll. I like Siddy because he always makes me laugh and Moll is very brave. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone because it is full of fun.
