Linnet longs to sing magic—but it’s forbidden. Banished to the Mournful Swamp with her father, she dreams of the life she left behind.
When her father is imprisoned for stealing a precious jewel, Linnet sets off on a dangerous quest through alligator-filled waters and shifting sands. With the help of unexpected friends, she finds courage—and a power even greater than magic—that could save her father and mend her island’s broken heart.
