A swashbuckling pirate adventure story from the author of the critically acclaimed Hour of the Bees.
When her marine scientist parents are killed in a tragic accident, eleven-year-old Fidelia Quail is racked by grief β and guilt. It was a submarine of Fidelia's invention that her parents were in when they died, and it was she who pressed them to stay out longer when the raging Undertow was looming.

Could something other than black-hearted greed be driving him? Will Fidelia be able to master the perils of the ocean without her parents β and piece...
