Eleven-year-old orphan Fynn wants nothing more than to have his own family. All he has left of his parents is a mysterious black starfish. One day, when he’s taken aboard by a grumpy sea captain, the adventure of his life begins. Because Fynn has been summoned to Akademar, a magical school deep under the sea. For millennia the school has been training guardians of the sea to protect the world’s waters. Fynn finds his soul-creature in Loki the octopus — but their connection gets him into unexpected difficulties. Now it’s up to Fynn to prove his courage, friendship and trust so that he can find a new home at last in Akademar.
