Deaf teen David Nickerson's life is in crisis.
His mother has died in a car crash and his sister Sally, now confined to a wheelchair, has mysteriously disappeared. Desperate to find her, David experiments with sacred crystals and accidentally conjures the supernatural clipper ship, Moon Singer, which transports him through time and space on a fantastic, dangerous journey to an uncharted mystical island.
The people David encounters all have a soul connection to him, their lives destined to intertwine. Strangely in this other world, David finds he can hear for the first time in years. This gift foretells his destiny: to explore the contrast between good and evil and to save a life that means more to him than his own.
