"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."--Goodreads.
