Moïse is fourteen years old, the age to become a ship’s boy at last. The year before was heavy with revelations about the secret of his birth, how he was found as a baby in a sloop, drifting towards the shore, and how he was nicknamed “The little miracle”.

He embarks with Ernest, captain of the L’Hirondelle for Island, for a rude campaign of several months at sea. Also aboard the L’Hirondelle, we meet Xas, the nephew of the ship chandler. An ignorant brute, he parades a strange tattoo on his right cheek. He will bring misfortune to the ship…

And why would anyone listen? Lava is so convenient for cooking meat and providing central heating. Of course, that’s the moment baby Gargoyle decides to go missing. The search turns up old frenemies and new misunderstandings in the conclusion to the first arc of Frank’s adventures.
