Dear Reader,

Our story begins as the Queen of the Winds sets sail for Persimmon Shore, and by the time it has come to an end, the ship has long returned from Ferrick Island. Alas, I didn’t have quite enough time to write it all down, the woes that befell the good citizens of Mouseland and the many dangers that the crew of the ship faced on the high seas before they made it home and found that their king had been taken prisoner by invaders. They had to keep their wits about them to save not just their own skins but their very homeland.

Fortunately, in their secret messages and letters, the sailors and their friends gave stirring accounts of their trials and triumphs. I’ve gathered these letters together and added a couple of maps, newspaper articles, and even some record books kept by the gendarmerie.

I invite you to embark on a journey with our old friends to the distant waters of the Shimmering Sea, where new adventures await!
