Esta has known nothing but Eden's Isle her whole life. Raised by her grandmother, after a fire claimed her parents and scarred her face as a child, Esta faces a life of piety and dread, bound to a religious society who cut themselves off from the mainland in the name of salvation. The island is governed by a fear of the outside world and the corrupting evil, lurking deep in the water known as the Seawomen. They fear the water, and the only way to remain virtuous is never to enter the sea, to follow God's word. Women on the island are controlled, married off and must conceive a child within the 12 months of their appointed motheryear. If she doesn't bear a child in that year, she is marked as cursed, and cast back into the sea as a sacrifice, in an act called the Untethering. When Esta witnesses a woman Untethered before her eyes she sees a future to fear.
