The People of the Sea have wandered the Great Sea, living on artificial islands for generations, searching for their promised land, the Far Shore. Tumarak joins the crew of a ship bound to stop a tribe from joining an apocalyptic war. The Mapuche tribe has left the People to come to the aid of the Palia Karnohuoa, a race of sentient sea creatures who are fighting the evil sorcerer Shezula and his minions. Shezula has conquered their homeland, the place the People have been searching for. Fearing for Tumarak's life, his love Ursa follows him and becomes a critical force in stopping the sorcerer.

Where most epic fantasy stories take place in a medieval European setting, The People of the Sea was a nice change of pace. The culture and legends of the People lend a distinct atmosphere to the novel. Instead of dragons and knights there are sentient sea creatures and sea captains. The familiar struggle between good and evil is set in an imaginative world full of primal magic, horrible sea monsters and noble sea creatures.

My Recommendation
The People of the Sea is an enchanting fantasy novel as well as a quick read. I enjoyed reading this novel and recommend this book to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.
