A journey across an island to restore a broken bond

Akwa’s story connects a personal loss with the fate of her community. After her father disappears at sea, she rejects the Sea Goddess her village worships, and the village faces the consequences. The search for answers takes Akwa beyond her familiar home and across the island, where she must confront dangers and learn what may restore the goddess’s favour. The premise brings together island adventure, mermaid-and-mythic subject matter, and questions of identity, devotion, and responsibility to a community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in island-set fantasy adventures.
  • Readers who enjoy stories featuring goddesses, mermaid-related themes, and a heroine’s journey.
  • Those drawn to plots where personal choices affect a wider community.

Book overview

Akwa lives in an island paradise, in her village that worships the Earth and Sea goddesses. She lives in harmony with the deities until one night her father disappears, lost at sea. Hurt and angry, Akwa turns her back on the sea goddess, exposing the village to the rage of a powerful goddess. A disaster is sent to destroy everything Akwa loves, and in order to save the village, she must cross the island alone, facing dangers and challenges, in her search of long lost answers about who she is and what she must do to earn the Sea Goddess' favour once more.

A heroine's journey, an adventure leaving the known comfortable village where Akwa lives, travelling through unknown territory to visit a wise woman, to help save her village.
