It’s midnight in Crackledawn, and the kingdom is holding its breath.
Sea dragons stir, silver whales glide beneath the moon, and all await the rise of the phoenix—guardian of the realm’s magic. But instead, a dark harpy emerges from the Everdark, threatening to steal that magic for herself.
Now it’s up to eleven-year-old Smudge and her grumpy monkey companion, Bartholomew, to sail beyond the mysterious Northswirl and stop her before the magic is lost forever. (Prequel to The Unmapped Chronicles)
