This three-volume fantasy blends ecology and politics, exploring the young shaman's choices and growth as she leads a desperate humanity toward coexistence with nature in a conflict-ridden post-apocalyptic world.
In a collapsing world, a constantly moving island serves as the last sanctuary which preserves the animistic culture, where spirits and humans live together. Likat, the youngest navigator, unexpectedly inherits the role of "Island Seer" after her mother's abrupt departure. She must confront "The Unmoored"—countless sorrowful spirits from the outside world.
Meanwhile, Amano sensei, the female Leader of Redland City, fights tirelessly for her people’s food security, only to be swept into Likat’s dreams by a sudden storm. From opposite ends of the sea, the two women embark on a post-apocalyptic adventure woven through islands, food, sacred songs, and shared dreamscapes.R
Before the age of ten, Likat lived in a world where she could only see spirits. Now, having "opened her eyes," she must learn to communicate with humans. Furthermore, as the Island Seer, she must master the ancient chants used to purify The Unmoored. Through her efforts, these spirits have been transformed into a harmless form she calls "Tufts." Likat is determined to uncover the root of their suffering, which means she must come to understand the world beyond her island.
The prequel to this work, rendered in a light-color style, gained significant popularity across Europe. Artist Evergreen Yeh once again employs a blend of watercolor and light ink, collaborating with screenwriter Li Shang-Chiao, known for her delicate portrayal of female characters, to create this brand-new main story.
