The Black Captain's Compass

A boy from a lost camp of people in the ice suddenly becomes the owner of a mysterious relic sought by merciless servants of the Black Captain. To save his life, Ed an Baudi runs south into an unfamiliar land of the Wandering Cities. Creatures follow his trail, and everyone thinks they’re fairy-tale monsters—yet ahead waits only an unfriendly world with no warmth, made of rocks, snow, and ice.
