About the Book
A way to survive.
A way to serve.
A way to save.
Once, Simi sought the favor of the deities. Now, she serves them as Mami Wata—a mermaid tasked with gathering the souls of those claimed by the sea, ensuring their peaceful return to the beyond.
However, her path took an unexpected turn when a living boy was cast into the ocean's depths. In defiance of timeless edicts, Simi committed the inconceivable—she saved him. And those who cross the gods face inevitable retribution.
To shield her fellow Mami Wata from divine wrath, Simi must embark on a pilgrimage to the Supreme Creator to seek forgiveness. Yet, the journey unveils complexities far beyond her anticipation. The boy she saved harbors secrets too profound for his understanding. And a sinister presence stalks Simi, eager for her quest to end in failure.
Peril shadows her every step. As Simi ventures forth, she confronts irate deities, treacherous territories, and beings of myth. For her failure portends dire consequences not only for the Mami Wata but for the very fabric of existence itself.
