About the book: 2021 / North Shetland Islands, people here live their own closed lives. Every summer, Quill and other teenagers are sent to a small island in the open sea - Stak - to hunt seabirds, and then take them back, loaded with rich prey. But this time no one came for them. Of course, nothing short of the end of the world can explain why they were abandoned - cold, hungry and clinging to life in the grip of a deadly ocean. How will they survive?
