TW: mention of domestic violence, mention of death of parents, some violence throughout 

The story opens with Naborhi struggling with the life she has and dreams of something greater outside of her home village. After finding a mysterious animal, and strange dreams, she leaves her home with a couple companion's for this journey.

I really enjoyed following Naborhi and her companion's on their journey, but mostly hers. Also, I'm not well versed in West African mythology/folklore. There is also some Urhobo folklore in there as well. But again, I'm not well versed in it. I really enjoyed reading about those elements anyway. Especially with it being put into a story like this one.

This is a YA story, but as an adult I feel anyone can read this.
