Odolf has been taken. Merle is a traitor. Necromalcolm is back."Over land and over sea, dark destiny is fled, carried on the wings of Fate--the living and the dead. A precious prize lies buried now amongst the ghostly hoard, but treasures lost may still be found and broken hearts restored." With her devious father back to his full power and Odolf and Fred gone, Emba Oak is at rock bottom, alone with her intelligent snake, Whip. It's enough to make anyone want to give up and hide. But Emba's not a giving up kind of girl. If she has to face ghastly ghosts, pirates, and a fearsome sea monster to bring Odolf home, then that's exactly what she'll do!
