When Lalani Sarita's mother falls ill with an incurable disease,
Lalani embarks on a dangerous journey across the sea . . . Life is
hard on the island of Sanlagita. To the west looms a vengeful
mountain, one that threatens to collapse and bury the village at any
moment. To the north, a dangerous fog swallows sailors who dare to
venture out, looking for a more hospitable land. The women live in
fear of the deadly mender's disease, spread by the sharp needles they
use to repair the men's fishing nets. When Lalani Sarita's mother
pricks her finger and falls ill, she gives twelve-year-old Lalani an
impossible task - leave Sanlagita and find the riches of the legendary
Mount Isa, which towers on an island to the north. But generations of
men and boys have died on the same quest. How can a timid young girl
survive the epic tests of the archipelago?
