West and Cally are swept into a strange world where the beauty is mesmerizing and dangerous. Lady Taranis tempts the youths to stay in her kingdom forever while Lugan, her male counterpart, urges the two forward and to the end of their journey.
West is an enigma to Cally, from a different part of the world with a different outlook and native language. The seeming magic surrounding West gets them through various different terrain and confrontations with creatures of all shapes and sizes.
Cally appears to be a naive child to West's jaded eyes. She adores the beauty around her and trusts most of the characters they meet, but as they head Westward to the sea West finds the girl more and more enchanting. His mother's warning before he arrived in the lost world: To trust the man with an owl's eyes, the girl with selkie hands, and the creature at the top of the world; allow West to bend to Cally's simple joy and uncomplicated trust. The two balance each other as they progress and become something more than friends.
West and Cally discover that some things in life are worth the pain of loss, especially to feel love. They persevere and are rewarded for their efforts. While their adventures are appropriate for a broad audience, some scenes and moments are aimed at more mature readers.
