About this book
One wizard’s shortcut makes another voyage longer, and Jesse’s race-winning spell has taken an island community’s way home.
At an island school, gifted apprentice Jesse Martin secretly shifts miles from a prestigious sailing trial onto a public ferry route. His victory brings hunger to remote communities and hands a calculating rival a method for funnelling travel towards the powerful. To put matters right, Jesse must sail each altered passage, recover the roads’ changing true names and bear the arduous miles imposed on others, knowing the repair will cost the future he cheated to win.
