Overview
On the misty island of Merlack, the lingering dead can cause unspeakable harm if theyāre not safely carried to the island of the Broken Tower, where they can move on. Miloās father always told him that he wasnāt suited for dealing with the dead and could never become the Ferryman of the Deadābut one day, heās unexpectedly thrust into the role. And his father is his first passenger . . .
Soon after, the teenage daughter of the Lord of Merlock passes. But the Lord of Merlock isnāt prepared to give her up, and he follows Miloās boat in pursuit, in a boat filled with armed men and two sinister magicians at his command. Itās a race to the island as Milo must face swarms of sinister moths, strange headless birds, and chillingly shrouded figures to carry his ghostly passengers across the secret seas.
Filled with suspense and Hardingeās signature sparkling prose, this new storyāaccompanied throughout by striking illustrations by award-winning illustrator Emily Gravettāwill keep you on the edge of your seat in this remarkable and ultimately heartwarming story of grief, family, kindness, and being true to yourself.
