Benthu of Ti'ago (The Legend of Dez'ilha Saga)

By N.D. Fontes

The best angler on the Dez'ilhan Ocean is an audacious fifteen-year-old named Atikin. She possesses the finesse to catch any sea creature that hooks her. Unfortunately, on her island home of Ti'ago an ancient law makes it a crime for women to take to the seas. Unable to fulfill her passions legally, she preoccupies herself with other matters--protecting her misguided, bullied, seventeen-year-old big brother, Nikolas. After replacing Atikin as their father's first mate, Nikolas, a left-leg amputee is thrown overboard in a treacherous storm. Drowning, the boy has the first dream ever had by anyone in the land. More of a nightmare, the vivid images are of ghoulish, hooded fiends known as the Rightful Children, sent to ravage the ten islands of Dez'ilha. Upon awakening, he's saved by a 1000-year-old wise man named Ma'chu, who deciphers the young fisherman's extraordinary ability--the Rightful King's malicious reign is returning. Confiding in Atikin, brother and sister embark on a quest, discovering Nikolas' identity is that of royalty--the young fisherman is one of ten hidden saviors scattered throughout the ten islands of Dez'ilha. With all of them combined, they hold the keys to stopping their world's imminent destruction . . . but only if Atikin can keep her big brother and his newfound kin alive.
