Summary from Goodreads
Secure in his position as the mighty Prince-warlock’s son, eighteen-year-old
Basil is content with his solitary life of study and magic. He has a
comfortable set of rooms in his father’s tower, he has his books and scrolls,
and he is perfectly happy. Until the Warlockry Council summons him, and their
demands sets his whole, safe existence tottering. Scared and unsure, he decides
to run, and takes the first ship out of town. On board he meets Yarwan, the
handsome midshipman, who awakens feelings he never knew existed.
Maud of the M'Brannoe, at nineteen already a mighty Kell warrioress, is about
to graduate as a Lioness, a special duty officer answering to her Queen and no
one else. The Prince-warlock asks her to fetch a certain boy from a pirate
town, who could be double for his son. On their way back, someone sabotages
their airship and the two find themselves marooned in an ill-reputed forest.
Together, the young lioness and Jurgis the lookalike run for the coast and a
ship home, while finding solace in each other’s arms.
Then the four young people meet, and Basil learns of a spell that might help
him. Only the spell’s creator, the infamous Black Warlock, disappeared nearly a
century ago. When the four young people decide to go looking for him, they
start on a path leading to an old war and unsolved mysteries that will change
the world. Or kill them.
A spirited fantasy story of high adventure, sparkling humor and romantic love
in an alternate earth setting of tropical islands, pirates, steamships and
wyrms, where both magic and early modern technology flourish.
