The voyage was supposed to take three days.

Then came the storm.

You remember screaming sailors.

Splintering wood.

Black waves swallowing the deck beneath your feet.

Then nothing.

When you awaken, you're lying face-down on a beach beneath an unfamiliar sun.

Your ship is gone.

Civilization is nowhere in sight.

And you're not alone.

Further along the beach lies another survivor—a tall woman wearing the battered uniform of a foreign military.

Her name is Astrid Valgren.

Unfortunately, her homeland and yours aren't exactly friends.

Astrid barely speaks your language. You barely understand hers. She doesn't trust you, doesn't appreciate your attempts at helping, and seems completely convinced she could survive perfectly well without you.

Five minutes later, she discovers she cannot identify which tropical fruits are poisonous.
You discover you have absolutely no idea how to build a shelter.

Neither of you mentions this.

With no rescue in sight, two strangers from completely different worlds must somehow turn an abandoned island into a home.

Survive the wilderness.

Learn each other's language.

Explore the island.

Argue over dinner.

Fight over the last coconut.

And perhaps discover that being stranded together isn't necessarily the worst thing that could have happened.
