Summary
The gods were as real as the coastlines and currents, and as merciless as the winds and whirlpools.
For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored.
Then, 30 years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart.
Now, none remain.
The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on.
On one of these islands live Hark and his best friend Jelt. To them, the gods are nothing but a collection of valuable scraps to be scavenged from the ocean and sold.
But now something is pulsing beneath the waves, calling to someone brave enough to retrieve it.

Beautifully written, wonderfully told
Such a brilliant book, narrated beautifully. Exquisite description of a new underwater world and the monsters that delved there, tangled up in a coming of age adventure. Glorious.

great book, definitely for older kids
Amazing story that creates a perfectly formed world in your head. The characters are believable and nuanced. My son is 11 and was fascinated, but he was surprised it was a children's story as some bits are fantastically scary!
