Paid a Pretty Penny (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780645577686)

Things aren't quite going to plan.

And then Aron discovers that he's been paid a human being. A living, sentient person.

Now he and his crew, in their travels, must dodge pirates, the authorities, and pro-slavery advocates. And somehow maintain their optimism as they try to find a way to free Penny from that which binds her.
