In the dark of night Libby Norstad wakes up. It's quiet. Too quiet. Then come the rapid strokes of the ship's bell. What's wrong? What happened? Where's Pa?

But soon, out of the dark and danger come the high notes of a gifted fiddler. Who is he? Where is he from? Why does his face seem to hold a secret?

As Annika joins the teaching in the Christina's classroom, Captain Norstad asks Libby, Caleb, Jordan, and Peter, "What is most important to you?& What do you really want?"
