Changes

And then there are the three young companions who found their way onto the ship in book one and who now form part of the crew. Brine, who was practically a slave, escaped in the hope of finding her long-lost family. Tom, who joins her on her travels, is, of all things, a junior librarian, and loves nothing more than reading or researching. Captain Cassie is the kind of leader who spots a good thing when she sees it, so puts him in charge of planning things. It'll make a change from just dashing into a situation and finding out what happens when it's all over, she reasons. And then there's Peter, a magician in training. The crew are very careful not to upset him – they've all seen his power – but that very ability terrifies him. What if he uses it for the wrong reason? How does he know he can control himself? And so we have a ship full of interesting characters with their own histories who are willing to band together to follow Cassie on whatever madcap scheme she chooses. Oh, and there's one more person on board – no spoilers, but just remember, simply being dead doesn't stop some folks from interfering, making snarky comments and generally being a complete pain.
