Books like The red wolf conspiracy by Robert V. S. Redick

On the colossal Imperial Merchant Ship Chathrand, a 600‑year‑old vessel that doubles as a palace, a young woman destined to marry and seal peace between Arqual and the Mzithrin Empire is thrust into a perilous voyage. Thasha, the daughter of the Arquali ambassador, defies her royal duty as the ship’s true mission threatens war and an ancient, all‑consuming evil. Alongside her protector Hercol, the queen of tiny stowaways Dri, and a powerful sorcerer Ramachni, Thasha allies with Pazel Pathkendle, a lowly tarboy with an uncanny gift. Together they face adversaries such as the brutal captain Nilus Rose, emperor’s spymaster Sandor Ott, and the enigmatic Dr. Chadfallow, whose loyalties are uncertain. Amid treacherous waters, political intrigue, and supernatural forces, the crew must uncover the secret of the legendary Red Wolf before the ship’s mission destroys everything.
