A whimsical and wistful Young Adult action-adventure fantasy debut about a girl who is bound to the sea, a lighthouse keeper engulfed in mystery, and the imminent danger of a thousand-year-old prophecy. Perfect for the fans of Axie Oh's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea and Naomi Novik's Uprooted . The Great Tempest is coming, and the fate of humanity lies in the love a sickly girl holds for the sea. The fishing village of Galacair has been the only home Earwyn’s ever known. Between the mysterious illness that plagues her and the villagers who consider her cursed, surviving gets harder with each dreary day. But there are whispers coming from the sea which ceaselessly beckon her, and an ominous vision of a calamity which haunts her dreams. Earwyn fears they could be a part of her illness too, and that madness has befallen her. The only one who seems to know something about it is Galacair’s lighthouse keeper, whose tower is as strange and as remote as he is.
