The Orphans of Raspay is the seventh Penric and Desdemona novella; the ship on which Penric and Desdemona are travelling is captured by pirates, and complications ensue.
When the ship in which they are traveling is captured by Carpagamon island raiders, Temple sorcerer Penric and his resident demon Desdemona find their life complicated by two young orphans, Lencia and Seuka Corva, far from home and searching for their missing father.
The ship Penric is on is hijacked by pirates, he finds himself as protector of two young girls (the orphans of the title) and then all of his various escape schemes come to nothing.
Pen and Des will need all their combined talents of mind and magic to unravel the mysteries of the sisters and escape from the pirate stronghold. They get a chance to shine with magic and trickery, and it’s clear the White God has his mischievous thumbprint all over this one.
This novella follows about a year after the events of “The Prisoner of Limnos”.
