The Martlet Is a Wanderer Jane Wiseman

Who is Silence?
Where did he come from?
If he could speak, what would he say?
Maybe he's dead.
In the dark, in a ship on stormy seas, a young man stumbles out of a mysterious box to search for his identity--and his voice. His quest takes him reeling from one peril to the next, knowing only he has two tasks: to rescue a friend, to find a queen.
