Book Overview

Ben and his faithful dog, Ned, are caught aboard the legendary Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship condemned to sail the seas forever.

After a mysterious encounter with an angel, the pair are granted an extraordinary gift: they will remain together, able to understand each other and live far longer than ordinary mortals.

Although they are free to leave the ship, they are unable to settle in one place for long. Travelling through different countries and centuries, Ben and Ned use their unusual abilities to help those in need and confront injustice wherever they find it.

Their adventures begin when they arrive in a coastal village where danger, mystery and an unexpected challenge await them.
