Tsunami Surf Sisters

When an ancient force of nature sets out to destroy humanity for wounding the Earth, five scattered sisters unaware of their true nature must find each other and unlock their ocean-born powers to restore the planet’s balance.

About the story

In the beginning of time, Land and Sea fell in love and had two children — Tide and Flood. When humans came into the world, Earth and her oceans were thrown out of balance and many perished. Flood blamed the humans and set out to destroy them. Tide believed humans could change and sent them her five daughters: The Tsunami Surf Sisters.

The sisters would incarnate when humanity needed them most, their powers hidden even to themselves. As they are reborn into different generations, their discovery of one another and how they learn to right the wrongs, would be the only thing standing between Flood and humanity’s destruction.

Now, the time has come. They must find one another and begin again.

Tide beneath the surface, her hair streaming out through the water, watching a lone surfer cross the light above her. Flood risen out of the sea as a vast roaring face of water, a lone surfer tiny beneath it.
