Welcome to the Eurastia, a legendary pirate ship whose captain holds a dark secret. Her name is Yuri, and once, she lived in the future. Unable to return until she rights a terrible wrong, she must redeem herself and fulfill her destiny. Ten year old Princess Noelle is not from another time, but another place--a land invaded by evil conquerors who killed her parents and kidnapped her younger brother, and took Noelle herself hostage. When Captain Yuri saves her, they discover that Noelle may hold the key to Yuri's destiny. Now, Captain Yuri and the crew of the Eurastia embark on their most dangerous journey yet as they set sail in pursuit of a Sea Dragon, and The Sea Dragon's Tears. Along with wonderful manga-inspired spot art throughout, the series contains maps, charts, and illustrations of the ship and all the characters for readers to refer to -- a fun new format for chapter books, fresh and instantly engaging.
