La vera famiglia di Will non abita a Londra, bensì in un labirinto di roccia e tenebra scavato nel sottosuolo. Per ritrovare il padre scomparso, il ragazzo intraprende insieme a Cai e all'amico Chester una discesa infernale verso il centro della Terra, dove scoprirà un mondo rovente e senza ciclo, quello della Colonia, che si perpetua da secoli sotto la Superficie. E ne minaccia l'esistenza. Migliaia di esseri umani e creature delle profondità sono assoggettati ai crudeli Styx, che non esitano a torturare e uccidere chi si ribella al loro oscuro potere. E' un gorgo di pietra e fango l'Abisso che padre e figlio devono attraversare; e l'unico dono del buio è la speranza della luce.

Will ha un rapporto singolare con la luce. È albino, ha ereditato dal padre una grande passione per l'archeologia e la sua indole schiva lo porta a rimanere spesso nell'ombra. Ma presto un evento misterioso lo precipita in un abisso in cui l'oscurità mostra il suo lato più nero: partito insieme al suo amico Chester alla ricerca del padre scomparso inspiegabilmente durante uno scavo, Will scopre un passaggio segreto diretto a una città sotterranea, costruita secoli prima sotto le fondamenta di Londra. È in quel luogo senza luce che Will è nato, ed è lì che conoscerà la sua vera famiglia. Ma i malvagi Styx, esangui creature a guardia della metropoli e del suo inviolabile segreto, non hanno alcuna intenzione di lasciarlo tornare in superficie. Per abbandonare il sottosuolo portando in salvo il padre e Chester, Will dovrà attraversare un inferno di roccia e fango e affrontare creature che hanno molti motivi per nascondersi nel buio... Età di lettura: da 12 anni.
