A Cascading Hope

Can one find hope where hatred gathers?

Muírin only wanted to know the truth. She never expected her mother, the Sea Mither and life-giver of the seas, to be attacked amidst Rousay Island's annual festival.

Devastated, Muírin searches desperately for the heaven's leaf, a magical plant that can heal her mother. Her search leads her to the shores of Hildaland, the magical island of the Finn Folk, and she finds herself swept up in a grisly mystery.

One by one, those around her disappear, and her mother's life-as well as the lives of all sea folk-hangs in the balance. Muirin must solve the mystery and heal her mother before it's too late and everyone she loves-including herself-are turned into sea foam.
