Growing up in a lighthouse, 11-year-old Pet's world has been one of storms, secret
tunnels, and stories about sea monsters. But now the country is at war and the

uncover why her family is being torn apart.
This is the story of a girl who is afraid and unnoticed. A girl who freezes with fear at
the enemy planes ripping through the skies overheard. A girl who is somehow
destined to become part of the strange, ancient legend of the Daughters of Stone.
