Unmoored

Following the untimely death of her mother, Hazel Emerson is accused of hysteria by her father.

As one of the most powerful merchant moguls of their time, a daughter with such an affliction is a threat to his reputation, so he sends her off to the Akala Asylum.

While en route, the ship encounters a most unfortunate fate, and Hazel is left floating in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

One day later, she wakes up on the shores of Akala, with only her nightgown and memories of a hauntingly beautiful sea creature rescuing her from the wreckage.

For the next two years, she keeps the secret of the Talassi warrior who saved her life, but her loneliness and longing to be claimed by the ocean only grows.

Was it all a figment of her imagination? Did she hallucinate her rescue in the trauma of surviving a shipwreck? Or is there something deeper at play, calling her home to the abyss?
