Qala, once Queen of the Pirates, had retired, hoping only for a
comfortable and peaceful country life for herself and her little demigod
son. Any of us might wish for such things. But others had their own
plans. The boy's relatives, an unruly family of deities, felt called
upon to meddle in his upbringing - and one might just want him dead. Add
to this the politics and intrigues of mortal men and women, and their
penchant for falling in love, as well as her old crew who think Qala has
hidden treasure somewhere about her estate. Kidnappings and quests, an
adventure through the worlds of gods and of mortals, await Qala in Book
One of The Crocodile Chronicles, THE CROCODILE'S SON.
