Das Zauberschiff Viviace ist zum Leben erwacht, doch an Bord steht der brutale Kapitän Kyle, der schnellen Profit mit Sklavenhandel machen will. Er hat seinen Sohn Wintrow dem beschaulichen Leben im Kloster entrissen und zwingt ihn zum Dienst auf See. Der empfindsame Junge geht zwar eine enge Bindung zu Viviace ein, doch unter den rauen Seeleuten kann er sich nur schwer behaupten. Unterdessen arbeitet die junge Althea als Schiffsjunge verkleidet auf einem Robben-Fangschiff und träumt von einem Wiedersehen mit Viviace. Und in den Tiefen des Meeres suchen die Seeschlangen nach ihren verlorenen Erinnerungen vom Anbeginn der Welt und stoßen dabei auf den Geruch der Viviace. Spieldauer: 20 Stunden, 15 Minuten

** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. A 4 star means I'm probably in trouble with my editor for missing a deadline because I was reading this book. But I want you to know . . . I don't finish books I don't like. There's too many good ones out there waiting to be found.
