Publisher's description:
In a parallel Venice mermaids swim in the canals, flying stone lions patrol the skies and wispy phantoms inhabit magic reflections. Armies of mummies, led by a reanimated ancient Pharaoh, besiege the city, and plot to capture its protector: the Flowing Queen of the lagoon. Merle manages to save the Queen, but her friend Serafin is caught.
