The Island of Excess Love

Inspired by Virgil’s Aenid, this sequel to Love in the Time of Global Warming follows Pen as she searches for love among the ruins.

“A mesmerizing, magical, and mysterious tale of love and loss, stories and visions, and betrayal and redemption, all told in the author’s signature lyrical voice.” —Booklist

In The Island of Excess Love, Pen has lost her parents. She's lost her eye. But she has fought Kronen; she has won back her fragile friends and her beloved brother. Now Pen, Hex, Ash, Ez, and Venice are living in the pink house by the sea, getting by on hard work, companionship, and dreams. Until the day a foreboding ship appears in the harbor across from their home. As soon as the ship arrives, they all start having strange visions of destruction and violence. Trance-like, they head for the ship and their new battles begin.

“The language and imagery are beautiful but haunting. . . . For fans of the first book, this will be a treat.” —School Library Journal
