Description

A trio of loosely linked novellas invites listeners into worlds where myth, power and personal destiny collide. Each story unfolds in a different setting, from a god whose origins are as fragmented as the islands he roams, to a determined duchess navigating court intrigue, and finally a conqueror whose ambitions echo across continents. The prose drifts between languages and vivid landscapes, creating a tapestry that feels both ancient and startlingly contemporary.

The opening tale follows a child abandoned at birth on a remote shore, raised by a French governess and the sea itself. He learns to speak Polynesian, French and later Spanish, while his mother’s sudden return spurs a perilous voyage aboard the Bounty through storms, foreign ports and volcanic coastlines. As the boy grows, his uncanny ability to bridge cultures and his silent, questioning gaze set the stage for a journey that will test the limits of identity and belonging.
