All witches are sea witches.
Ever since she was a child, Amnandi Khumalo, daughter of one of the most respected witches on Erah, lived for exploration on the open seas. And ever since her first trip aboard The Bane, Captain Maab Pinyasama has been happy to oblige.
Now no longer a child, and sailing with the captain to learn and to challenge her own witchly abilities as much as to explore, the 17-year-old witch has to confront a mystery upon the sea placed in front of The Bane by no less than the goddess herself. The feathers of ravens have risen upon the waves, wide as a plague. It doesn't take long to realize this plague is guided...and spreading.
The young witch knows evil and the damage it does. As the Bane and its crew face all-too-human dangers at every turn?and traveling without her mother's guidance--has she learned enough to face the ready fire within all witches to do the most harm rather than the needed good?
