“I was just having some fun,” Lucy muttered, scuffing his shoe against the porch. Flames began to rise behind him…”I’m going to enjoy this far more than you could ever -”Īnd just like that, everything switched off… Though, by the time I’m done with you, you’ll wish you hadn’t.” The smile widened until it seemed like his face would split in half. “It’s nice to see you,” Lucy singsonged before giggling. Or that he just received a special greeting from Lucy (aka six-year-old Lucifer): It would be a learning experience for both of us. Never mind that the gnome would like to bury him in her garden – I’ve never buried anyone before. Linus arrives on the island and gets to work. He is devoted to giving his charges a ‘normal”’, happy childhood while preparing them for the prejudices they will inevitably meet when they leave the island and enter the real world. Some would see trouble Arthur sees children. Linus promptly faints after reading the first child’s report.Īrthur Parnassus, forty-five-year-old master of the orphanage on Marsyas Island, is in charge of quite a diverse group of children a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the son of the devil. He gets on a train and heads to the island armed with files outlining what DICOMY knows of the master and the six children in his care. Linus has never heard of the place and is quite concerned about the situation. He has done his job so well that he is summoned by Extremely Upper Management and given a highly classified assignment – visit the island of Marsyas and investigate how the orphanage and its master are doing. Linus Baker, forty-year-old bachelor and cat-owner, is a caseworker for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth (DICOMY), and his job is to visit and evaluate the state of the DICOMY orphanages that house children with magical abilities. The House in the Cerulean Sea is just lovely! My heart is so full and happy after reading this enchanting story by TJ Klune.
