Set in antiquity, the story follows Tala, a young woman from ancient Ethiopia who escapes an imposed royal fate by secretly boarding a Greek ship, guided by the quiet protection of the sky deity Waaq. Crossing the Mediterranean becomes an act of reinvention rather than exile. As Tala travels through the Greek world, she encounters its gods and cities, discovering a stark contrast between her subtle, watchful African divinity and the loud, demanding Olympians.
