THE NEVER SILENT:
Henry Thorp is a seventeen-year-old con artist working the
Manhattan streets in 1847. Along with Thomas and Mary Doyle, his best friends
and partners in crime, Henry swindles naïve travelers fresh from the docks—old,
young and beautiful alike. But when Thomas is murdered, the only clue to his
death is a ticket to board The Never Silent, a ship with a covert destination.
Henry impersonates Thomas to take his place on the ship in the hope of finding
his killer.
But Henry soon learns that Thomas kept one vital secret from
him—he was part of an ancient society descended from the Norse who gained magic
through the sea, and Thomas himself could hear other people's thoughts. Now
Henry must use every confidence trick he knows to convince an entire crew of
magicians that he too is no ordinary human but instead a powerful reader.
Between the risk of discovery, the peril of a murderer walking about the ship and the
looming threat of pirates roaming the Atlantic, the next life lost could be
Henry's. He'll need all his wits to solve Thomas's murder and return home... to
the streets he knows and to Mary, the girl he just might love.
