Translated by Elisabeth Kallick Dyssegaard.
In this final book in the quartet, Alek (formerly Doup) embarks on a journey with plenty of intrigue, including a shipwreck, a murder, and an exotic girl who survives the wreck. Even fans will have trouble keeping the expanding "family" straight, but it hardly matters when the imagery is so precise and eloquent that each line of text reads like poetry.
