‘Voyage of the Damned’ by Frances White is Book of the Week with Waterstones of King’s Lynn

Here’s our weekly look at books with Waterstones…

Seamlessly blending fantasy and whodunit, White's enthralling novel follows the voyage of the heirs of Concordia as a killer stalks the deck picking off the privileged one by one.

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the Emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain.

Aboard are the heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing. Except one: Ganymedes Piscero – class clown, slacker, and all-round disappointment.

But when a beloved heir is murdered, every one of these powerful people becomes a suspect.

Now Ganymedes – alone and vulnerable without a Blessing – must become the hero he was never born to be.

With the body-count rising, can he unmask the killer before they reach the shore?
