Haunt & Havoc (Potion Voyages #7)

In the world of magic oceans, King Xander - a deceitful tyrant who ruled the world in ages past - has returned from the grave to rule yet again. His heralds use the powers of songs, spirits and illusions to enchant the people of many nations. Once they are captured, the king tasks his new subjects with a quest to find the greatest ocean of all, whose mythical waters give every power to those who drink of them. Vying with the king for global domination, a cult of sun worshippers has taken control of the world's financial center. They work to manipulate the economy, build an unholy temple and invoke the powers of the blazing stars against their many enemies. Believing that knowledge of hidden truths is greater than any cult or kingdom, a group of ruthless explorers seeks out and lights the remaining luminaries. Their false flames plunge the world into a deeper darkness, where a mystery is revealed that connects the fates of the stars and the seas. To defend against these threats, a crystal wall is constructed by a wealthy telepath, a brilliant architect and a devious businessman in possession of arcane secrets. Together, they keep an entire continent shielded from the rival oppressors. While the king of the land, the servants of the suns, the bringers of darkness and even legions of haunts from the spirit world all come into conflict, an enemy from a distant galaxy moves in to obtain the powers of the magic oceans for their own goals. During the havoc that ensues, a powerful symphony of enchanted music ushers in a new age.
