Maia has spent her entire life hidden within the mountains of New Zealand. Her only friends being her ailing grandfather and a nomadic dog named Huck, she resents being alone. Wandering the ruins of a population long gone, she dreams of a place where the few surviving humans can start again - a place her grandfather insists is a myth. But Maia cannot escape a strong and mysterious force calling her out into the world, as well as bizarre occurrences following her around the island. There is something strangely enchanted about the land in which she lives ... or is it her? When Maia hears a rumor that people are gathering in the Old Arctic half a world away, she knows this is where her destiny lies. But when a devastating turn of events shatters all hope of reaching her destination, Maia must come face to face with the transformative power of fate, discovering the one thing she has been running from may be the only thing to save her.
