A mysterious ship emerges from the fog, sailing straight towards Castleshire harbour. It turns out to be The Amorphous, a vessel made of glass. The ship’s captain, Nero, explains that he and his crew are on their way to participate in the Tetra Tournament, a legendary event that takes place on a floating city in the middle of the ocean. He asks Robin and her friends to join the competition. But Robin is hesitant. Joining means risking your life…
Praise:
‘The story is reminiscent of Pirates of the Caribbean, intended for ages 10 and up. A book in which every child will lose themselves.’ – Algemeen Dagblad
‘Hassing gets bonus points for subtly portraying a ship with queer crew.’ – Winq
