BlurbTwelve-year-old Ariane Raman only ever dreamed of magic, sketching fantastical creatures in her book as she listened to the waves crash on the Mauritian cliffs. But when a strange silver glow appears on the horizon, she and her friend Raj are pulled into a reality more incredible and dangerous than any fantasy. The ancient balance between land and sea is breaking, and a dark spirit is rising from the depths.
Guided by a tiny, luminous being named Lumière, they must venture into the hidden heart of their island-from the glittering coral palaces of the Mysterious Ocean to the sacred, wounded forests of the interior. To succeed, they must find a courage they never knew they had, for the light they carry in their hearts is the only thing that can save their world from being swallowed by shadow forever.
