Deadly machines. Strange creatures. A sinister secret. A crew of treasure hunters risking their lives to uncover the truth.
But they’ll have to find the lost House of Matchsticks first …
On the surface of the sea, a burning island beckons a mysterious man called the Collector. Approaching the fire, the Collector bears witness to a vicious crime. When he realizes an innocent life will be lost—a baby, swathed in a bundle and left to die in a floating rowboat—the Collector makes a choice that will change his course forever.
Follow Isaline, a girl who dreams of becoming a City Watchman in Benemourne’s capital, and Jack, a former treasure hunter with a dark and painful obsession, as they are dragged with the Collector into the beginnings of a deadly adventure.
