Going on sixteen, Wulliam would rather not assume his family's responsibility as Riverkeep of the Danék River. But when his father is possessed by a bohdan, Wull is compelled to find a cure downriver, where the monstrous, magical mormorach terrorizes the harbor. An evocative, atmospheric world; memorable characters reminiscent of Ahab and Dr. Frankenstein; and a fantastic bestiary make this a worthy debut.
