The Hero's Prophecy* Sequel to "White Silk Scarves*

It's been five years since Ayda, a 17 year old girl running from her deadly prophecy, and Rio, her 13 year old compainion, asked to live on the old man Ishmael's boat. And it's been five years since the hero arrived from Earth to save the world of Sea Palm.

The only issue? The hero's prophecy is lost at the bottom of the sea. He doesn't know his own fate, or how the world he was sent to even needs saving. So he's wandering, aimlessly, hoping to follow his prophecy....while Ayda is doing the exact opposite. For her prophecy says she will fall in love with the hero, and she will die for him.

Now, Ayda is an outlaw. Running from the hero, her prophecy that will kill her, from the rulers of the kindgom who insist she follow it and ultimately, running from herself.

After an attack, Ayda gets seperated from her family, Rio and Ishmael. And while they're seperated, new bonds are formed. Ayda quickly makes a friend, not realizing it's the very man she's spent most of her life running from; the ruler of the country in disguise.

Rio is kidnapped by pirates and runs into the person he hates most in the world. The one destined to kill Ayda. The hero. And yet, the unlikely bond soon turns into friendship, and only keeps growing growing deeper and deeper.

Meanwhile Ishmael teams up with a woman who starts as a friend, but soon turns into something more, despite his deep loyalty for his long lost love, Irene.

Three seperate bonds are created, and many types of friendship and perhaps even love, start to bloom. But maybe not with the people who they thought.
