The Ferryman's Apprentice Lee Cope

The third book in The Ferryman's Apprentice series.




The only thing worse than doing nothing is doing something and achieving nothing.




Back on the River, there wasn't really any difference between the days. Wilom thought he was used to waiting and being patient. But in the real world, when nothing changes, it isn't constancy, it's stagnation. Wilom might hang back a little more than Vanda does, but he's just as much of a meddler at heart. Doing so much work without actually changing anything is starting to make him itchy.




The personal problems aren't making this any easier, either. He's increasingly estranged from the ferryman, and he knows it's his fault. The Ferryman's Knowledge keeps getting in between him and the living humans, too. Mr Treene only plays mind games, he's done nothing but lie to Cathlin and Marc for a long time, and there are even cracks forming between him and Vanda.




If only he knew whether he was really helping, or just making things worse.
