Anne never wanted to come to the island.

Fresh out of high school and stuck on a senior trip with classmates who’ve tormented her for years, all she wants is to keep her head down and survive the week. But from the moment she steps off the plane, the island won’t leave her alone. A child calls her mother. Sea turtles gather by the hundreds wherever she goes. Dolphins circle her in the open water. And Anne loses time at an ancient shrine as she wakes with wildflowers in her hands and no memory of picking them.

When a night on the beach turns violent, a stranger named Ashau saves her life and brings her into a world hidden from the tourists: an old family, an older prophecy, and a legend of a goddess who gave up her immortality for love while vowing that her essence would one day return.

The elders believe Anne is that return, and the island’s most powerful man will do anything to prove them wrong.

Anne must choose between the ordinary life waiting for her at home and a destiny written a thousand years before she was born. One that will demand her body, heart, and everything she thought she knew about who she was.
