Siapakah laki-laki yang menghampiri Latu? Apakah hal besar yang menunggu Latu dan penduduk pulau Tannin? Kisah Latu menunggu untuk ditelusuri dalam rangkaian kata yang ditulisnya.

Moi, je ne crois qu'en ce que je vois. Mon smartphone par exemple... Un monde parallèle à celui que nous connaissons, mais qui existe bel et bien. Fils unique à mes parents, à mes 17 ans j'ai dû voir toute ma vie se bouleverser avec la rencontre d'une mystérieuse créature dont pour moi l'existence ne relevait que du conte de fée. - Mais, quelle sorte de créature es-tu ? Qu'est ce que tu me veux ? Mes origines, ainsi que des réalités dont j'ignorais l'existence m'ont été dévoilés. - Je l'ai su dès l'instant où j'ai posé mon regard sur toi. - Non, mais de quoi tu parles ? Il faut que je fasse un choix, mais tellement de choses sont en jeu, elle dit que c'est mon destin, mais comment savoir que c'est la vérité. - Je t'en prie. Entend l'APPEL DE L'OCÉAN. Je m'appelle Dilane et ceci, est mon histoire.
