Britta of Del wants nothing less than to be the new Apprentice Trader of the Rosalyn fleet. Family and friends and even the terrible secret of her parentage will not stop her. But how can she succeed when her true identity must surely be guessed by Trader Mab, who knew her father, and the crew of the Star of Deltora? Relying on no more than her wits and the kind acts of friends she makes along the way, Britta is drawn closer and closer to her terrible destiny.

"The Star of Deltora has escaped Illica, but home and safety are still very far away. The shadows that haunt the ship are deepening. Strange currents, seen and unseen, are sweeping Britta and her friends into peril. The magic Staff of Tier has sensed them, the Hungry Isle is on the prowl, and Britta's dreams of winning the Rosalyn Apprentice contest will soon be swamped in a tidal wave of terror. Lives hang in the balance and shock follows shock as Britta's quest to escape her past reaches its tumultuous climax."--Page [4] cover.
