  ***This edition includes a beautiful sprayed edge, perfect for fans and collectors***
  
  Linus Baker leads a quiet life. At forty, he has a tiny house with a devious cat and his beloved records for company. And at the Department in Charge of Magical Youth, he’s spent many dull years monitoring their orphanages.
  
  Then one day, Linus is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment. He must travel to an orphanage where six dangerous children reside – including the Antichrist.
  
  At the orphanage, Linus must somehow determine if these children could bring about the end of days. But their guardian, the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, will do anything to protect his wards. And as Arthur and Linus grow ever closer, Linus must choose: his duty or his dreams . . .
  
  Continue the adventure with the second instalment in the Cerulean Chronicles, Somewhere Beyond the Sea.

  Review

  I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect -- V. E. Schwab, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
  
  A witty, wholesome fantasy that’s likely to cause heart-swelling ― The Washington Post
  
  The House in the Cerulean Sea is a modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect. It’s a beautiful book -- Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series that inspired HBO’s True Blood
  
  1984 meets The Umbrella Academy with a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in. Touching, tender and truly delightful, The House in the Cerulean Sea is an utterly absorbing story of tolerance, found family and defeating bureaucracy -- Gail Carriger, author of Soulless
  
  Sweet, comforting and kind, this book is very close to perfect . . . I cannot recommend it highly enough -- Seanan McGuire, author of the Wayward Children series
  
  This tale of found family is hopeful to its core. Readers will revel in Klune’s wit and ingenuity ― Publishers Weekly
  
  Lambda Literary Award-winning author Klune (The Art of Breathing, 2019) has a knack for creating endearing characters, and readers will grow to love Arthur and the orphans alongside Linus ― Kirkus Reviews
  
  Quite possibly the greatest feel-good story ever to involve the Antichrist . . . a burst of humour and hope ― Shelf Awareness
  
  A beautiful little gem of both irony and, yes, kindness ― Fantasy & Science Fiction
  
  A delightful tale about chosen families, and how to celebrate differences ― Library Journal
  
  If ever there was an author to watch out for, [Klune] is definitely that author ― Culturess Daily
