The Pirate of Heffen

Two hundred years ago, on a world like ours, a young scholar, Thomas Anders, leaves England for the first time. A long sea journey takes him to the tropical islands of Heffen. Here in the shadow of Mount Niridia and the mysterious Gabrielle's Fault, legend claims more than a million worlds collide. As tutor to the governor's niece and nephew, Anders finds that he and his young charges are in great danger. Their lives are being affected by terrible past events. There are evil people on Heffen, but the real and terrible evil threatening everything is not from this world and is not remotely human. Thomas Anders dreamt of a stunningly beautiful pirate, Prudence Fairweather, long before he ever met her. Can this beautiful, spoilt, moody and bad-tempered girl defeat this evil? And why is the love of two people so important to the survival of more than a million worlds?
