  • Years earlier, Myra’s husband kidnapped their first daughter, Row, during an earlier catastrophic flood, and Myra has been searching for her ever since.
  • When Myra learns Row may be alive in a distant raider encampment near the Arctic/Greenland region, she risks everything on a dangerous sea journey to try to rescue her.
