Dexter Jones is a MONSTER, Man Of Navova Saving The Ever Ruined. He and all the other Monsters are dutied by Lady Cassandra, ruler of the Land of Navova, to watch over humans confidentially that are abused in any way possible. One rule: they must not be seen by the victim and must not touch the victim or as they call The Ruined but only when the decision to take their own lives cross through The Ruineds' minds. To do this, they hide in the shadows under the Ruined's bed. That is where the famous catchphrase "the monster under the bed" comes from.
When Dexter Jones has a wish needing to be guaranteed, there is a price to pay-he must save a life, the life of Avalynn Miller. Dexter must avoid Avalynn from hurting herself even if Dexter does not enjoy sleeping under Avalynn's bed; dusty, mornings spent with a sore back and hearing agonous screams every night.
But what happens when empathy blooms inside Dexter and the idea of comforting Avalynn sounds virtuous? Follow the journey of the Monster and the Ruined that comprises secrets, surprising family reunions, sorrowful farewells and love.
