When a troubled young heir to a shipping fortune is suddenly transformed by evil magic into the form of a haunting stranger, he must travel to an ominous city at the edge of the world to unlock the magic's fateful mystery.
“With its subtly sinister atmosphere and measured element of fantasy, the book succeeds in creating a story that reads like a lost tale by Robert Louis Stevenson or Stephen Crane…surprising and satisfying…A charming gothic pastiche.” — Kirkus Reviews
