Justice At Sea

by Christian Klaver

Overview

The tides of the Faerie War are turning, but at how high a cost for the Kasric family?

Justice Kasric, her siblings, and her parents are locked in combat on both sides of the Human-Faerie War. At fifteen, Justice may be the youngest ever Admiral to command her own ship and lead a resistance, but she has the magic and the will to do it. If only nearly every other member of her family weren’t either in immediate danger of dying—or attempting to kill her!

Forced to make dangerous pacts with more than one unpredictable ally, only Justice can decide how far she’ll go to save London. Is it worth sacrificing even a member of her own family

From the Publisher

2021-09-29
The members of a blended family find themselves further divided across battle lines in a Faerie war.

In this follow-up to Shadows Over London(2021), 15-year-old Justice Kasric is now the admiral of her own ship, the HMS Rachaela. She commands a diverse army made up of Faerie, Dwarves, and Goblins in addition to some humans, like her magician sister, Faith. The Faeries seem to be outwitting Justice at every turn, as she sees Victorian London’s most famous landmarks fall under their ruinous spell. Justice’s family is extensive, full of half siblings, both human and Faerie; her human mother and brother are all but estranged, her Faerie father has been captured, and her siblings fall on both sides of this division. The story jumps right in where its predecessor left off, and readers are privy to only a sparse recap in the interests of making space for richly detailed nautical scenes. Klaver name-drops characters with dizzying speed, at times almost exhaustingly so. However, those who enjoy epic fantasy will find much to enjoy here, with naval battles, a dragon magician, and an equine demon (just to name a few). More secrets are revealed, but those seeking closure will have to wait, as this entry concludes with yet another exciting cliffhanger. Most main human characters are assumed White.

Sweeping and intricate. (Fantasy. 12-18)
