Orphaned Amanda Kirasdotr is a sailor on the lost planet
Goddard. When she rescues a visiting starfarer from drowning, her reward is a
trip into orbit.
Now she wants to go there again, not easy when the hottest
ship on Goddard has three masts and a full set of sails.
The shadowy Brotherhood of the Bell realizes that Amanda
wants to bring that most dreaded of all menaces, change, to Goddard. They'll do
absolutely anything to stop her.
Amanda begins with her wits, her determination, and her dory Northstar.
She's up against typhoons, pirates, assassins, financial
bubbles, starfarer ultratech, and the mythical giant ship-eating squid. Can she
beat them all to find the path to her dream?
