Om den här e-boken
The discovery of an explorer’s journal from long ago reveals an epic adventure of magic and danger in this middle grade fantasy series debut.
Archaeologists have recently discovered fragments from a journal kept by one Ven Polypheme. They tell of his remarkable travels through the known and unknown world. Ven’s original journals are reproduced in this book. Great care has been taken to reconstruct the parts that did not survive . . .
Charles Magnus Ven Polypheme—known as Ven—is the youngest son of a long line of famous shipwrights. He dreams not of building ships, but of sailing them to far-off lands where magic thrives. Ven gets his chance when he is chosen to direct the Inspection of his family’s latest ship—and sets sail on the journey of a lifetime.
After surviving an attack by fire pirates, Ven is rescued by a passing ship on its way to the Island of Serendair. But these seemingly chance events may be part of someone’s grand design. Shadowy figures are hunting for the famed Floating Island, the only source of the mystical Water of Life. They think Ven can lead them to this treasure. And they will stop at nothing to get it—even murder.

Om författaren
Little is known for sure about reclusive documentarian Elizabeth Haydon. She is an expert in dead languages and holds advanced degrees in Nain Studies from Arcana College and Lirin History from the University of Rigamarole. Her fluency in those languages has led some to speculate that she may be descended of one of those races herself. She claims to have a husband and children, but again, no one is really sure. Requests for information about her hobbies were returned with the unhelpful comment "everything except toothpaste sculpture." She is currently translating and compiling the second of the recently-discovered lost journals, The Thief Queen's Daughter, when she is not napping.
