The Melissma Sea migrates on Hytrae’s equatorial Salt Plain of Shilom, spending two years as sole but temporary property of three politically diverse provinces. At her leading edge, the massive Storm Zone’s fresh water dissolves old salt while in her shallow quiet evaporation zone, she returns the cleansed salt back to Shilom. The Naweci call the sea the Dissolver of Doubts and the salt plain the Peace Maker and teach their children the two form a holy union as is the marriage of truth and men. Fishermen swear the souls of those who die at sea are captured in the holy mist Locsoldrn, a mysterious cloud legend squeezed from the Melissma when she tasted the blood of man’s first violence against man. The silent lightning within Locsoldrn is, they say, the souls of the dead warning of the Day of Judgment. The Melissma is crossing the border into Ides. The Merchant Prince of Ides, Soroff Baejon, has discovered the mist can be used to resurrect the recently deceased. He assumes die once and live forever. Baejon prophesies his emperor will be assassinated at the Idean Onset celebration and, in two days, live again to lead Hytrae’s race of mortals into immortality. Never do men know all the consequences of even their smallest endeavors. The wicked come only like a feather on a breeze, gently upon the mind as in a dream until men step into their domain or invite them into theirs. Baejon believes he can merge the two dimensions to his advantage. This he declares Hytrae’s Singularity.

To make matters worse, they realize that shark-infested waters stand between them and the safety of the beach!

Seventeen-year-old Zander Hua has grown up hearing his parents argue about the environment. His dad, Mike, just wants to enjoy his life as a deep-sea fisherman, but his mom, Gloria, detests how the fishing industry damages reefs in our already dying oceans. When he is ten, his parents divorce and Zander splits his time between his mom’s world of environmental activism and his dad’s world of sailing, fishing, and survival shows. The summer after Zander’s junior year, his dad invites him to sail from Seattle to Hawaii. A retired software exec from Seattle has hired Mike to help him transport his luxurious 80 ft sailing yacht—along with some indigenous artifacts including an antique Makah dugout canoe—to his summer home in Hawaii. Zander begs to let his girlfriend, Jenna come along, and she brings her cat, Mr. Jackson. The trip goes well at first, but something is very odd about the boat’s owner. He scares Jenna and gets on Zander’s nerves. One night, midway between Los Angeles and Hawaii, Zander is suddenly pushed overboard by an unknown hand, and the yacht sails away. After nearly drowning, he discovers that the old canoe and the cat have also been tossed overboard. He crawls inside the canoe and eventually realizes he is in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. No stranger to the irony that the stuff he needs to survive is the same stuff that’s killing our oceans, Zander sets about collecting plastic garbage that just might save his life and allow him the chance to find out what happened to his dad and Jenna.
