Synopsis

There is a world where tall-masted ships still carry cargoes of spices to the South Seas of fable and legend. They sail east of the sun and west of the moon in the archipelagos of the clouds. It is a world of magic, which sometimes intersects with our own. By the author of "Chase the Morning".
