Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Exciting and fresh . . . I can't remember when I've been so enthralled. Maybe when I first read Philip Pullman. Wow!" --Terry Brooks Scant years after a terrible war that shook empires, a six-hundred-year-old ship sets sail for enemy lands in an attempt to forge an enduring peace between the world's two greatest monarchies. A vast city afloat, the ancient vessel bears a royal bride-to-be; a stowaway tribe of foothigh warriors; an honest young tarboy with a heritage of treason; a rat with a magical secret; and a dark conspiracy centered around the Red Wolf, a legendary and dangerous artifact. When the conspiracy is uncovered, the voyage takes a turn into perilous waters, and the sword-wielding young bride and her quick-witted tarboy companion must face deadly assassins, treacherous mermaids, and monstrous slavers to uncover secrets at the highest levels of power--secrets that will send heroes and traitors alike careening towards a mysterious destination that could destroy both empires at a stroke. A publishing sensation in England,The Red Wolf Conspiracymarks the debut of a remarkably gifted young writer.
Scant years after a terrible war that shook empires, a 600-year-old ship sails for enemy lands and must deal with deadly assassins, treacherous mermaids, and monstrous slavers in order to deliver a young woman whose marriage will seal the peace.
