Though they started as best friends, their relationship has grown into something more intense.

And with Cass’s fatally-ill sister in need of expensive medical help, Daniel is more determined than ever to save the ship. But when he discovers that the ghosts are linked to a dangerous curse whose caster wants everyone on board dead, Daniel will come face-to-face with an evil so dark, so wicked, that it will change the course of his life forever.”</p> </div> </div> </blockquote> <p>Want want want want want.
