Rindan is a young cliff-climber on the neighboring island of Teutatwen. Despite his loyalty to his family, he longs to breach the boundaries of his archipelago to find the lovely lass haunting his dreams. But no one can travel the rough seas–not without supernatural help.
Disguised as a lad, Isolba embarks on a quest to find her betrothed and seek refuge.
