But I will say that there may be reason to believe that Maleficent may be wreaking havoc despite her fate at the end of Descendants. So I would be remiss if I gave too much away. Part of the fun of the book is discovering all the fun Disney connections that the Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay, and other characters come across on both Auradon and the Isle of the Lost.
