Aura, a half-blood living on the small island of Alimia, finds herself trapped underwater when an earthquake topples the Colossus of Rhodes. With the help of the Night Moth gang, she escapes the chief priest and seeks refuge with her telchine mother, a sea-born being blinded by humans. Aura must convince the telchines to make peace with the human islanders to stop the devastating earthquakes.
