Overview / 简介: |
Penhaligon takes on pirates and sea serpents on the high seas.
The creatures of Porthleven are suffering from a mysterious illness that looks like Febra lupi, the curse of the Romany wolves, which has no known cure. The dashing apothecary fox Penhaligon must find a cure or risk losing everyone he holds dear!
Penhaligon uncovers a fragment of parchment that just might be a recipe for a cure—and it includes ingredients found only on the haunted Howling Island. But the obstacles Penhaligon must face on his quest for the cure make ghosts seem friendly: Pirates! Sea serpents! Double-crossing ferrets! Can Penhaligon make it back in time to save his village?

| How far would you go to save a loved one's life? Would you board a rickety ship captained by an ornery, money-hungry cat? Or jump into a tangle of seaweed where a sea serpent lies in wait? Or even travel to an island rumored to be inhabited by fierce creatures? Penhaligon Brush did all that and more. He's a fox with an eye for adventure, a head for medicinal healing, and a heart as pure as gold.
When his adopted wolf cub, Donald, becomes stricken with a fever that could take his life, Penhaligon embarks on a journey to collect a rare ingredient that he hopes will be the cure. With his good friend, Hotchi the hedgehog, and a young stowaway, Penhaligon finds himself overcoming obstacles at every turn, with his fox mate, Rowan, being left to care not only for Donald but for the youngest members of their seaside community who also fall victim to the terrible illness.
While Penhaligon finagles his way through treacherous waters and meets up with an equally treacherous pirate, Rowan is faced with an upsurge of prejudice at the hands of her own neighbors--all because of some old curse. Will Penhaligon keep his wits about him and return in time with the cure?
In this story of pirates, mysterious monsters, and dark secrets, S. Jones Rogan takes her readers on a non-stop adventure. But that's not all. Bubbling beneath the surface is a plot so thick you could swirl it over your pancakes. With every turn of the page, she weaves an intriguing tale, dropping clues for us to ponder and allowing the truth to slowly unfold. This book also includes engaging illustrations of the lively cast of characters and the places they inhabit.
As you read through this tale, you'll find yourself rooting not only for Penhaligon and his mate, Rowan, but for the most unlikely characters, as well. This book has all the ingredients of a first-rate adventure, with rollicking action scenes, plot twists, and realistic characters who you willingly follow into their world.
