This chapter is planned but not written yet.

The drowned city is not a real city. It is a magical model of the Moonwater Hotel and the coast. Every open door changes something inside the model.

Mr Vale cannot enter this room. Only guardians can. Nora understands that the hotel is a protection system, but she does not yet know what it protects.

Sam sees a tiny figure moving in the model. It looks like Elena. Then he notices something important: a door in the lighthouse.

Cliffhanger

The model begins to flood, and the water moves toward the tiny figure of Elena.

Easy comprehension questions

  1. What is the drowned city really?
  2. Who cannot enter the room?
  3. What does Nora understand about the hotel?
  4. Who does Sam see inside the model?
  5. What starts to happen at the end?
