She escaped from a temple and her grandmother's knife, but the goddess has not forgotten her. On a lonely island in the western Mediterranean, in the dark days before the great empires of Greece and Rome, the first settlers struggle to survive. Kaly is headwoman of the fragile colony, trapped between the sea and the endless pine forests whose smoky clearings hide a lawless clan of woodsmen, plotting her downfall. When a storm-battered tradeboat runs aground, spilling a crew of rough sailors, the uneasy peace explodes.

In the golden age of the Phoenicians, only the western reaches of the Great Sea remain uncharted. Kaly, a restless teenager from the ancient port of Tyre, escapes the clutches of her fiendish grandmother, high priestess of the Goddess. She flees west with her father, a famed helmsman and explorer. Together, they discover the fabled Pine Tree Island, where they build a new home with a motley crew of fellow adventurers.
