Jolly and Griffin set off to find out where the endless-appearing bridge goes, but they find themselves trapped when the bridge bursts into flame and strange creatures called kobalins attack before they can escape. Then the Ghost Trader appears as if by magic and sweeps them off to the city of Aelinium in this Caribbean fantasy world.
Their world is threatened, and they will have to dive deep into the water to keep an ancient source from opening a gate into the world of Mare Tenebrosum, a deep, black, and lightless place, but Jolly wants to rescue Captain Bannon first. He is the only father she has ever known and he is in danger. She steals a ghost ship and sets off on that mission. Griffin follows, but strange otherworldly creatures, along with pirates and a host of menacing monsters, get in their way and send the plot in other directions.
Swords, ships, ghosts, and magic combine to make fast action and unexpected twists.
While this story would have been easier to understand if I had read the first book in THE WAVE WALKERS series, Kai Meyer is a master at creating compelling characters and a lively plot that will keep you reading. It appears that there will be a third volume in the series, and I can't wait for more adventures with these characters.
