A fractured heart

A shaky first step

A journey of discovery

The Ingenious and the Heart of Shattered Glass

is the second book of The Ingenious Trilogy

A beautiful and emotional interweaving of art, science, and nature.

The Ingenious teenagers are traumatised after delving into the murderous Karl König’s mind. Tai Jones is struggling with the shock of aging after misusing his powers. And in a rare moment of lucidity, the ailing Dr Kendra has revealed, through a cryptic riddle, the whereabouts of one of the missing Ingenious children – so they send out a search party to the Amazon jungle to find her.

Meanwhile, a team of scientists is brought together to work on the cure to save the children – headed by the Russian Dr Vassiliev, the only person in the world with the technical knowledge to complete it. But when he mysteriously disappears, they’re surprised to find that the key to getting him back comes unexpectedly from an animal. And to Professor Wolff’s shock, that animal also has an impossible memory linked to his own tragic past.

As they search for the missing scientist, as well as the Ingenious girl lost in the jungle, the teenagers make an upsetting discovery about the origin of their genius genes – thrusting them ever closer to a common and disturbing relative...

 

Sometimes, the most beautiful things come from piecing together the fragments of a broken heart.

REVIEWS
"This book drew me in from the start and I couldn't put it down. Like the 1st novel, it has barcodes throughout which you could scan and took you to music pages and art pages like Beatrix Potter and Da Vinci. Which gave the book an extra element and I enjoyed it and found it interesting...
I didn't want the novel to end but at the same time I did as I wanted to know
what happened.
J.Y Sam has done it again with another beautiful, well written novel and I can't recommend J.Y Sam's books enough. I'm looking forward to reading more of
J.Y Sam's work and to see what happens next in the series."
