Return to the world of the bestselling Greenglass House, where
smugglers, magic, and pyrotechnics mix, in a new adventure from a New
York Times best-selling, National Book Award-nominated, and Edgar
Award-winning author.
Lucy Bluecrowne is beginning a new life ashore with her stepmother and
half brother, though she's certain the only place she'll ever belong is
with her father on a ship of war as part of the crew. She doesn't care
that living in a house is safer and the proper place for a
twelve-year-old girl; it's boring. But then two nefarious strangers
identify her little brother as the pyrotechnical prodigy they need to
enact an evil plan, and it will take all Lucy's fighting instincts to
keep her family together.
Set in the magical Greenglass House world, this action-packed tale of
the house's first inhabitants reveals the origins of some of its many
secrets.
