On the third day, there were pirates.
Wednesday has rolled around, and Arthur Penhaligon has an invitation to return to the House that he can’t refuse. Drowned Wednesday has sent a ship to pick him up from the hospital . . . even though his hometown is miles away from any ocean.
From hospital room to the high seas, Arthur finds himself on an adventure that will pit him against pirates, storms, explosions of Nothing-laced gunpowder, and a vast beast that eats everything it encounters. Through it all, he is drawn deeper into the central mystery of the House. Arthur must find the third part of the Will and claim the Third Key–not just for himself, but for the millions (if not trillions) who will suffer if he doesn’t.
The first step? Surviving life aboard a ship on the Border Sea. . . .

      Arthur Penhaligon, reluctant heir to the kingdom, returns to face the third Day. After dealing with Mister Monday and Grim Tuesday, Arthur is surprised that Drowned Wednesday needs his help. Lady Wednesday, trapped in the body of a behemoth whale, is willing to surrender the third key to Arthur in exchange for his conquering the villain Feverfew. This story of pirates, a talking carp, and plenty of Nothing is up to par with the first book in the series. Allan Corduner delightfully presents the myriad of creatures with a mix of formality and whimsy. He does a masterful job with the dark characters and subtle humor of this imaginative fantasy. N.M.C.
