Synopsis

Upon coming of age, the inhabitants of the invisible island of Ma Isle journey into the wilderness, where they are gifted with special abilities.

So it has been for hundreds of years… until Cephianne, the youngest child of their immortal matriarch, fails her seeking ritual, emerging from the woods unchanged, and stumbles upon an enthralling man in her mirror.

Mallory Raven-Ellen Backstrom’s fairy tale is penned in homage to the Gullah dialect and colorful culture found off the coast of Georgia, where the descendants of enslaved peoples turn pain into power.
