YO-HO-WHO? Dispatched by a dying professor to the world of Darkendown, writer Robin Adam has to assume control of its afterlife prison colony. She must also rule over a country inhabited by pig-and pterodactyl-folk, literary characters, and--most feared of all--the infamous "Christmas Pirates." Robin will need all these strange (but staunch) allies as she faces her Great Test: the redemption of her own brother. To be a true Judge, she must first take a seat in her own dock--and not the most wonderful people or the wildest powers can stand between her and her Doom.
