Ella Jones saved the world from an eternity of darkness in Ella Jones vs the Sun Stealer. Now she must face the god Homodos, who is hunting Hercules' famous shield. His plan is to throw the world into chaos by increasing battle-noise until it's unbearable for man - the only thing that helps drown out the noise? Their own rage. Their fury. Their hate. As people come to realise this, they will begin to fight until the world descends into war and he, Homodos, will grow more and more powerful. Ella, blind for two years and used to filtering out noise around her to calmly navigate her surroundings, is the hero the world needs. Her quest - alongside her guide dog Miss Maisie, her best friend Finn, sister Poppy and a mysterious new kid at school, River - will see her journey to a remote island and encounter villains new and old...

12-year-old Ella Jones has been blind for two years and is navigating her new world with the help of her guide dog Maisie, her sister Poppy and her best friend Finn. One day, on a visit to central London with her family, a light in the world is suddenly extinguished, causing panic and chaos as people are plunged into pitch black. A pagan god of light, Lugh, has been released from his millennium-old-prison by a shadowy villain and, out for revenge on humans, has brought darkness down on the world. But Ella is the hero the world needs: she is used to living her life in darkness every day, and is able to keep calm and work out a plan to defeat Lugh and return light to the world.
