Ruby suffers from night terrors in the weeks following her cousin Henry''''s disappearance, night terrors strong enough to put her frail, sickly body in danger. And they''''re getting worse. Her mother, Morgause Reveur, sees no other recourse than to send Ruby on her quest, the rite of passage that everyone in their witch clan goes through, to steal a source of magic from another plane. A quest Ruby is too young for, that she was never really intended to go on. But it may be the only way to save her life. Ruby plunges, literally, into Undaina, the elemental plane of water, where she will contend with pirates, merfolk and sea monsters by day, and with the choking darkness of her subconscious fears at night.
