The power is hers alone, but only the strange blood coursing through her veins will decide when and how to unleash a power she struggles every day to control.From the cold, barren shores of Tierra del Fuego and the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle to the bustling crowds of Victorian London, Lily's story-and her quest-unfolds in a thrilling historical fantasy for all ages from award-winning author Len Boswell.
