Descriere
Otter (short for Ottilie) is a girl who is most comfortable on her family’s ship, the Tempest, where she and her father's collect the dragon hides that protect the queen’s guards. But all is not well in the kingdom, and it’s not clear if the queen is to blame.
The streets are full of homeless kids, and now one of them, a street-smart boy called London, has stowed away on the Tempest. He befriends Otter, and soon they realise that the fate of the kingdom needs to be in the hands of the kids.
For in every tight spot - during pirate attacks and navigating the magical land of the Netherwhere, where they get ship-wrecked it is the quick-witted kids who save the day. As they work to fight injustice and protect the defenseless, they earn the respect of the realm’s most magical creatures - dragons and gargoyles - who all bond together as a force for good. Melissa Marr spins another fabulous fantasy, centered on family and friends, and introduces readers to the most splendid magical creatures.
