In this captivating sequel to Deephaven, Nev Tallow finds a sinister skull with ornate images etched into its teeth and must work with their friend Danny to unravel the skull’s curse before a prophesied disaster destroys their new home.
After a chaotic semester, Guinevere “Nev” Tallow is looking forward to a quiet winter break at Deephaven Academy. But when they get an opportunity to look at strange artifacts from the school’s history, they can’t resist. And that’s where they find the scrimshaw.
