Synopsis
The Riddle in Ruby trilogy takes readers on a rip-roaring adventure through an alternate version of colonial America, where magic and science meet, and where one young thief carries a secret everyone wants. In this second volume, Ruby Teach has become the enemy's prisoner. She bargained with her freedom to protect her friends--but her friends aren't about to abandon her, either. That's not what friends do.
Ruby's blood holds a secret, one that could turn the tides of the looming war for whomever unlocks it first. Ruby's father, former pirate Captain Teach, and her friends--a motley crew made up of a young aristocrat, a servant, and an apprentice alchemist--must race against time to locate the hidden fortress where she's being held. But the one person who could help them is Ruby's mysterious and powerful mother, and no one has seen her since Ruby's birth.
Kent Davis sweeps our heroes through cities and the deepest wilderness with imagination, humor, and magic that fans of Jonathan Stroud and Terry Pratchett will devour.

From the Back Cover
Ruby Teach is a prisoner.
To save her friends and family, she bargained with the terrifying captain of the king's elite guard. Now she's locked away in a fortress, training to become their greatest weapon. And the guard's foremost alchemist is putting her through endless experiments to find the secret in her blood--the secret that could turn the tides of the coming war.
She has no idea where her friends are. They don't know where she is.
But they are desperate to rescue her. Athena, Cram, and Henry must evade mercenaries close on their trail, dangerous wild beasts, and the perils of the wilderness itself to find the one person who can locate Ruby--her mother. Yet no one has seen the mysterious, powerful woman since Ruby's birth.
Time is running short. War is looming. Will this motley band of friends rescue one another, or lose everything?
