More and more children seem to get a strange disease, that mutates their longs into gills - but not completely. The realms are governed as an oligarchy, with the Feder-company as the leaders. One monastery on a remote island is capable of making an elixir that can slow down the disease. But not only the Feder-lands are in need for the elixir...

In het midden van nergens... (In the middle of nowhere...) |

They don't see the Frenchman Sillé come nearer, followed by the ship of the Scorpion. When they find out it's too late, and they have to try to stay out of both gentlemen's hands... |
