His yeoman voyage now behind him, Blithe must now accept new responsibilities as he ascends to the rank of Dragonfrigate Wizard Halcyon Blithe.
In the latest chapter of the young wizard's nautical education, he finds himself second in command of a captured enemy vessel that must engage a demonship in combat before returning to port. Upon his return, he is assigned duty on a dwarven dragonship, where he and his shipmates encounter the deceit of politics and diplomacy before they can regain the security of their Arcanian dragonship – and the company of their trusted crewmates.
Combining elements of Hornblower with Harry Potter, and Robert Louis Stevenson with Robin Hobb, the Halcyon Blithe are nautical tales rich in magic and intrigue, set against a panorama of fantastic naval battles as we follow the career of a young midshipwizard, as he moves up through the ranks of His Majesty's Navy.
