When Apollo Kagwaâ€™s father disappeared, he left his son a box of books and strange recurring dreams. Now Apollo is a father himselfâ€”and as he and his wife, Emma, settle into their new lives as parents, exhaustion and anxiety start to take their toll. Apolloâ€™s old dreams return and Emma begins acting odd. At first Emma seems to be exhibiting signs of postpartum depression. But before Apollo can do anything to help, Emma commits a horrific act and vanishes. Thus begins Apolloâ€™s quest to find a wife and child who are nothing like heâ€™d imagined. His odyssey takes him to a forgotten island, a graveyard full of secrets, a forest where immigrant legends still live, and finally back to a place he thought he had lost forever.
