A journey through
the sixty-mile long
ghost of a dragon.
Meet Cady Meade, captain of the steam-launch,
Juniper. In her heyday she carried people and goods
on the river Nysis, from the thriving seaports of the
estuary into Ludwich, the capital city. But that was
years ago. Now she’s drunk, holed up in a rundown
seaside resort, telling her bawdy tales for shots of rum.
All this changes, when two strangers seek her out,
asking for transport: a young girl, very ill, and in
grave danger, and an artificial being of singular
character with secrets hidden inside his crystal skull.
But the Nysis is unlike any other river. Few can
navigate its channels, whirlpools and sandbanks; few know
of the ravenous creatures that lurk beneath the surface.
And Cady’s glory days are well behind her now…
