Lana returns to her childhood home to help her Aunt Anne clean up after a major storm damages their coastal village. While walking along the shore, she discovers an injured Aquicorn—a small, seahorse-like magical creature—and learns of an entire underwater society living beneath the waves. As Lana cares for the creature, she uncovers the tension between the village’s dependence on the ocean for food and the devastating impact of overfishing and pollution on the coral reefs where the Aquicorns reside.
