The Unseen by Jacob Devlin is the second book in the Order of the Bell series. As King Bellamy declares that no one can leave the Old World, Pietro, Pino, and Alicia seek a way out to find their children, no matter the cost. Turning to old allies and enemies, they must band together in a fight to reclaim their land. Meanwhile, Avoria has found her way into the other world, leaving Wonderland in the hands of the King of Hearts who has one order: to break Enzo and his friends. When Enzo, Zack, and Rosana wake up in Wonderland, they encounter talking animals, water that makes people shrink, and a battle brewing between two kings.

The Unseen dives deeper into the destiny of the new generation as Zack, Enzo, and Rosana have come to an acceptance of where they are from and the legacy their parents created for them. Each has their own hero's journey where they have to learn to lean on each other and find their own individual power. Now that they've accepted who they are, they're discovering more about their parents' stories that show them the magic that they have themselves. Devlin brings to life the magic of these beloved stories with heart and humor in a new story that you won't be able to get enough of. The worlds are under the power of wicked rulers, which affects each of the characters and brings together each thread. Jacob Devlin puts a fresh spin on the stories of well-known characters, with fun references and adventure. The Unseen is a wonderful sequel to The Carver that follows the children of Alice, Peter Pan, Wendy, and Pinocchio, and opens up the stunning worlds we only think we know.
