The sea has always called to Cari. Like a lullaby that only she can hear, she has been drawn to the water's edge for as long as she can remember. Yet fear holds her back from stepping into the sea, until she decides she needs answers that she suspects only the sea can provide.
Upon her return to the sea, Cari experiences dreams of the Sea Witch, a terrifying creature who pronounces that she cannot possibly stop King Varan from taking over the kingdoms. Can she and her new allies pull off their daring rescue mission? And if they do, what consequences will the Mad King reign down upon them?
"This book is very much a "gateway" text - such a gentle and fun way to begin dipping your toes into the world of fantasy if you're new to it, and a comforting read for those well-versed in the genre."
