Summary

Forbidden to leave her island, Isabella dreams of the faraway lands her cartographer father once mapped. When her best friend disappears, she's determined to be part of the search party.

Guided by an ancient map and her knowledge of the stars, Isabella navigates the island's dangerous Forgotten Territories. But beneath the dry rivers and dead forests, a fiery myth is stirring from its sleep.

There is a very good execution BUT

The book is very good and you can picture it in your mind very well but if you don't like a slow going book I wouldn't recommend but even if you don't try it out🌊🌊🌊

Enthralling

My daughter and I so enjoyed listening to this fantastic story. The reader has a wonderful voice and such a range of accents to make the characters come alive. A pacy story with wonderful twists and turns.

A story of myths and adventures

A gripping adventure full of young girls quest for justice as she searches for the truths within her home isle of Joya. Full of mythical references, dangers. Isabelle is the worthy heroine in this story.

Average, over-rated book

The barrage of 5 star superlative full reviews feel written by publisher marketeers. It’s OK, but not earth shattering. The narrator felt more like a reader than an actor, her slightly posh voice strangely rooting a story from a far away land into the British Home Counties.
