Key to Rondo is about two kids who get transported to another world via a music box. They end up having many adventures and befriend the people who live there. Since the kids appear to come from our world, I doubt that it's part of the Nine Seas, unless Rondo the world is really part of it somehow? Don't think so, though. Even if it was, I doubt it would become relevant to the plot of a future SoD series. The world itself could appear, but I don't think you'd need to know any plot-related details to understand what's going on.

I like the idea of Britta going on a quest to find this Crown of Serpents, especially if she goes with Jewel and Sky. I really want to see more stories about this trio, since it feels like their story has only just begun. I feel like we didn't get to know Sky and Jewel well enough in SoD and it'd be nice to get to know them better in a new sequel series.

Also, the Shadowlands survivors are severely traumatised, not insane.

And about the bell ringing, maybe it has something to do with giving due to the dead? Or maybe it's a warning to other sailors.

Me and someone else on fanfiction.net talked about there possibly being a connection between the Shadow Lord and the Zebak. We both think that the Shadow Lord may be working with the Zebak somehow. Funnily enough, the Zebak try to invade Maris in "Rowan and the Keeper of the Crystal" through use of a pawn, not so different from what the Shadow Lord would do.
