Summary:  "A speculative Caribbean Sea tale whose shape-shifting sea beings lead you through a wealth of musical cultures, myths, and biodiversity under impending disaster. Naniki honours the Indigenous roots of the Caribbean and is inspired by the sea as the vessel of collective memory. It is a cross-cultural, futuristic oceanic tale imbued with magical realism, set in the Caribbean Sea Basin. Co-protagonists Amana and Skelele, evolved sea beings of the Anthropocene, are made of water and air, with Taino and African ancestry. Shape-shifting with their naniki animal avatars, they begin an archipelagic journey to see the strange future they dreamt of when a devastating monstrosity erupts. Tasked by their elders to go back in time, to the source of the First People's knowledge, they must overcome historical and mythological challenges. Will they, their love, as well as their islands and seas, survive?"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Magic realism (Literature) Sea stories.
