A capable swordsman for his seventeen years, Cornelius O'Quinn was taught about weaponry, but he never thought he'd need to make use of his skills on a family vacation to see his relatives in Ireland...and beyond.
Travel by way of airship and join Cornelius and his two younger siblings, Gregorius and Agatha, and their accomplished, secretive, and eccentric grandfather, Magnus, as they make their way to the next stop on their peril-fraught trip—Norway.
Not long after arriving in the Nordic land, Cornelius and his siblings are whisked away by a Giant, only to end up in an arena where Cyclopes and Giants alike are ready to tear them apart. Much to their relief, Magnus finds and rescues them, and they're off on another new venture, this time toward the Black Sea.
Tales of mermaids and sea serpents fill the atmosphere, making the younger O'Quinns uneasy about stepping into the dark water, and for good reason...
From Alaska to the Bahamas, dark happenings and magic follows the weary early twentieth-century travelers, and every stop provides a new challenge, danger accompanying their every move.
The O'Quinns may be having the adventure of a lifetime, but their encounters may take their lives in the process...
