Stars Beyond the Veil

Kate is now fifteen. After her adventures in the Kingdom of What Is, Kate and her friends are back in What Is, where they discover that a tyrant, Malum, is upsetting the natural cycles, causing poverty, stunting people’s growth by an evil experiment, and making them slaves.
If the courageous Prince Servan is still alive, as some say, why hasn’t he done something?
In their search for Servan, Kate and her friends discover the secrets of Malum’s deadly plans to build a fleet of ships to go after the royal family and finish them off.
Kate disguises herself as a boy, becoming a spy to rescue Malum's slaves. She joins a band of rebels who hatch a plan to sabotage of Malum’s formidable armada. With no weapons other than their wits and courage, they must defeat the tyrant before he brings the Kingdom to extinction.
