A means of surviving.
A method of assistance.
A means of preserving.
Simi once prayed to the gods. She now works for them as a mermaid known as Mami Wata, gathering the spirits of sailors lost at sea and granting them safe return voyages.
But when a youngster who is still alive is tossed overboard, Simi defies an old custom and performs the unimaginable—she saves his life. Those who dare to disobey the gods will face consequences.
Simi had to travel to the Supreme Creator to make apologies in order to defend the other Mami Wata. However, nothing is as it seems. The youngster she saved had more knowledge than he ought to have. Additionally, Simi is being watched by something that would prefer to see her fail.
Every round brings danger, and as Simi gets closer, she will have to face off against vengeful gods, perilous terrain, and mythical animals. For should she fail, she jeopardizes not only the destiny of all Mami Wata but also the existence of the world.
