Jewels Adrift

A mesmerising remote island inhabited by local villagers, finds washed upon their shores, two strange young women carrying nothing with them but their secrets.

They are welcomed and protected by the locals who are immediately charmed by their presence and unbothered by their slight idiosyncrasies.

A battle of physical strength cannot win him the power he seeks within these lands. Instead he must rely on his own serpentine cunning and intelligence that grant him the ability to remain the most threatening creature that both the Earth and Sea have ever seen.
