Set on an unnamed archipelago off the east coast of Britain, the story revolves around Eva Levi, who has dedicated her life to building a community truly run by women. However, she suddenly disappears, sparking rumors that the community will be destroyed. But Cwen, a mysterious and powerful woman, emerges to protect the island and its inhabitants.
Cwen has a deep connection to the land and its ancient roots. She has been present on the islands for longer than the civilization that has resurfaced. The islands have always belonged to women, and Cwen is determined to safeguard them at all costs.

It is a testament to the power of literature to inspire and challenge us, and to remind us of the importance of fighting for a better world.
