Sent on a voyage halfway around the world, the promising young naturalist Tristram Flattery is led by the spirit familiar of his late mage uncle to a remote island, where it has been foretold that he will open the gateway to a magical world. The first half of Sean Russell's Moontide and Magic Rise, a sea adventure set in a world where mages exist but are dying out, with a more or less eighteenth-century background; its story continues directly in Sea Without a Shore.
