Description:

On the island of Merlank, the ghosts of the Dead are deadly — one glance can kill. When young Milo's father is suddenly slain, he is thrust into the role of Ferryman, tasked with carrying the Dead across perilous seas to their rest. But a powerful lord and two dark magicians pursue him, determined to reclaim the lord's dead daughter. A beautifully illustrated gothic coming-of-age tale about grief, courage, and kindness — for ages 9 and above.
