Now the fortunes of one of Bingtowns oldest families rest on the newly awakened liveship Vivacia.For Althea Vestrit, the ship is her rightful legacy. For Altheas young nephew, wrenched from his religious studies and forced to serve aboard the Vivacia, the ship is a life sentence. But the fate of the ship-and the Vestrits-may ultimately lie in the hands of an outsider: the ruthless buccaneer captain Kennit, who plans to seize power over the Pirate Isles by capturing a liveship and bending it to his will.Dont miss the magic of the Liveship Traders Trilogy:SHIP OF MAGIC MAD SHIP SHIP OF DESTINY
