Nicholas Mason is a fairly average teenager from the small town of Aberdeen, Washington, in his final year of high school. When an earthquake awakens him at a senior party he attends with his two closest friends, they find themselves face-to-face with a powerful starship created by an ancient civilization - a Caveship. Taken aboard against their will, Nicholas and his friends find themselves traveling farther and farther away from Earth, while the starship automatically pilots itself toward some unknown destination. Now, Nicholas and the ragtag group of teenagers must work together to find a way back home, facing incredible dangers on strange alien worlds, all while at the mercy of a starship hellbent on reaching its target.

That time, her father banished her. This time, she brings even more trouble upon herself. People are now hunting Charlie all over London, but only one man succeeds in capturing her. Lincoln Fitzroy is the mysterious head of a secret organization on the trail of a madman who needs a necromancer to control his newly "made" creatures. There was only one known necromancer in the world - Charlotte - but now there appears to be two. Lincoln captures the willful Charlie in the hopes the boy will lead him to Charlotte.

And will she agree to work for the man who held her against her will, and for an organization she doesn't trust?
