Forbidden
to leave her island, Isabella dreams of the faraway
lands her cartographer father once mapped. When her friend disappears,
she volunteers to guide the search. The world beyond the

following her map, her heart and an ancient myth, Isabella discovers
the true end of her journey: to save the island itself.
