«Érase una vez un mundo llamado Kelanna, un mundo maravilloso y terrible de agua, barcos y magia. La gente de Kelanna era igual a ti en muchos aspectos, hablaban, trabajaban, amaban y morían, pero eran muy diferentes respecto a algo muy importante: no sabían leer.» Los padres de Sefia dieron su vida por proteger un extraño objeto de cuero y papel, que ella poco a poco descubre que se llama libro. De sus páginas se despliegan historias que han ocurrido y que ocurrirán, y todo lo que contiene en su interior parece no tener fin. Sefia desarrolla un vínculo con este libro que le conduce a un mundo de magia, piratas, asesinos, sociedades secretas y mitología ancestral. Pero también, la arrastra sin remedio a su más oscura obsesión, las personas que le quitaron aquello que más quería. Acompañada de un muchacho que no puede articular palabra pero que ha sido entrenado para matar, Sefia tendrá que cumplir su promesa: hallar respuestas, redención y venganza.
