Teaming up with her research partner Tom Wilker, her son Jake and his governess Abby, she boards the ship under the wary eye of the mad Captain Aekinitos and sets about learning more about giant sea serpents, small fire-lizards and the feathered serpents that live in the abandoned cities explored by archaeologist Suhail. Setting off aboard the Royal Survey Ship Basilisk, she is ready to discover dragons around the world on her two-year voyage. It’s been six years since Isabella Camherst, Lady Trent, explored Eriga, and how she is ready for her next big adventure.
