Clarion Books, 2018

Return to the world of the bestselling Greenglass House, where smugglers, magic, and pyrotechnics mix, in a new adventure from a New York Times best-selling, National Book Award–nominated, and Edgar Award–winning author. Lucy Bluecrowne is beginning a new life ashore with her stepmother and half brother, though she’s certain the only place she’ll ever belong is with her father on a ship of war as part of the crew. She doesn’t care that living in a house is safer and the proper place for a twelve-year-old girl; it’s boring. But then two nefarious strangers identify her little brother as the pyrotechnical prodigy they need to enact an evil plan, and it will take all Lucy’s fighting instincts to keep her family together. Set in the magical Greenglass House world, this action-packed tale of the house's first inhabitants reveals the origins of some of its many secrets. What mysteries will they uncover in the walls of the famous house? A Sibling Story: Twelve-year-old Lucy would rather be at sea, but when mysterious strangers target her pyrotechnics-prodigy little brother, Liao, she’ll do anything to protect him. Magic and Mystery: In the strange city of Nagspeake, time-traveling peddlers and ancient secrets collide in an adventure that reveals the origins of the beloved Greenglass House. A Strong Female Protagonist: A born sailor forced to live on land, Lucy must call on her courage and fighting instincts to keep her new family from being torn apart by a nefarious plan. Smugglers and Privateers: A rich, atmospheric tale set in the world of 1810, full of privateering ships, smugglers’ towns, and the magic that runs beneath it all.
