Adesuwa is no stranger to these tales-she has grown up hearing the stories from her elders about the lagoon's ancient spirit, a being said to grant incredible powers in exchange for a deep sacrifice. But Adesuwa, in her typical rebellious manner, dismisses these stories as mere superstition.

But when an unexpected and inexplicable force draws her closer to the lagoon's shores, she finds herself face-to-face with something far beyond her comprehension.
