It's been a quiet seven months since their encounter with the fearsome sea dragons, and Cat, Jamie, Calum, and their teacher, Mr. Harris, are nearing the end of the school term. Then Cat finds dog collar on the beach, and that night she dreams of a huge, howling black dog.

Cat's nan is convinced it is the notorious Black Dog, a mysterious creature rumored to be a portent of death. It seems the dog brings a warning of a new kind of monster that threatens the Scottish village of Anstruther.

On a reconnaissance mission, the team spots a gigantic bird---could it be related to the ancient terror birds that Jamie's pa wrote about in his research papers?

The hunt for the terror birds is on, and Cat, Jamie, Calum, and Mr. Harris must figure out what's going on before the next bird attack.
