Meanwhile, evil socialite Rowena Cooper also seeks the moonkelp for her own purposes, and is not above committing murder to get it. ("wanderer of the shore") in a cemetery, "eyes as big as his fists and as gray as the stormy sea" he learns how one of these "fisher folk" once married a human and bore a child, which brought about a curse from the Lords of the Deep-and Ben holds the key to finding the "moonkelp" that can overturn it. Jennet learns that Alice and the old ladies of the village are witches who engage in a monthly séance. Ben, who has seen visions of ghosts all his life, has a particularly terrifying night during which the house seems filled with them. Jarvis's (the Deptford Mice trilogy) story of witches and creatures from the sea stars orphans Jennet, 12, and eight-year-old Ben, who are brought to live with their Aunt Alice in the seaside town of Whitby.
