Synopsis
Young Ven, a shipwright's son with dreams of maritime exploration, is mysteriously rescued after a pirate attack on his family's ship. Shadowy figures are hunting for the famed Floating Island, the only source of the mystical Water of Life, and believe Ven can guide them to it, launching him on a perilous, magic-filled adventure.
Where it sits
- Universe: Symphony of Ages
- Series: The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme ; position 1 of 4 in the series' recorded order
- Author: Elizabeth Haydon
Notes
- From the series record (The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme): Middle-grade/YA prequel quartet set in the same world's 'Second Age', per the author's own framing, NOT titled 'The Lost History' (a misconception corrected during research). A 5th volume, 'The Star of the Sea', was announced but remains unconfirmed as published. No publisher-issued combined reading order merges this with the main saga.
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
