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.
