 Arthur
is not supposed to be a hero. He is, in fact, supposed
to die an early death. But then his life is saved by
a key shaped like the minute hand of a clock.
Arthur is safe — but his world is not. Along
with the key comes a plague brought by bizarre creatures
from another realm. A stranger named Mister Monday,
his avenging messengers with bloodstained wings, and
an army of dog-faced Fetchers will stop at nothing
to get the key back —even if it means destroying
Arthur and everything around him.
Desperate, Arthur ventures into a mysterious house
— a house that only he can see. It is in this
house that Arthur must unravel the secrets of the
key — and discover his true fate.

 On
the second day, there was darkness.
Arthur Penhaligon didn't think he would ever have
to return to the strange house that nearly killed
him on Monday — the house that contains a fantastical
and sinister realm inside.
But the next day brings new challenges — in
the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday, who threatens
the safety of both Arthur's family and his world.
Arthur must retrieve the Second Key from Grim Tuesday
in order to save everything — an adventure that
will force him to steal a Sunship, survive a very
weird work camp, befriend a bearlike spirit, and fight
the void Nithlings. And even after all that, he will
still have to venture into the scary Far Reaches for
an ultimate showdown.
The stakes are high. And time is ticking.

Wednesday
has rolled around, and Arthur Penhaligon has an invitation
to return to the House that he can't refuse. Drowned
Wednesday has sent a ship to pick him up from the
hospital…even though his hometown is miles from
any ocean.
From hospital room to the high seas, Arthur finds
himself on an adventure that will pit him against
pirates, storms, explosions of Nothing-laced gunpowder,
and a vast beast that eats everything it encounters.
Through it all, he is drawn deeper into the central
mystery of the House. Arthur must find the third part
of the Will and claim the Third Key-not just for himself,
but for the millions who will suffer if he doesn't.
The first step? Surviving life aboard a ship on the
Border Sea.
