In this post-apocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past.

In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers, a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past.

The people of the Mud Whale have fought off the forces of the Allied Empireβ€”for nowβ€”but their only hope for continued survival is to find an ally from beyond the Sea of Sand. So when the bombastic Sir RochalΓ­zo sails his ship alongside their island, Mayor Suou is ready and eager to befriend the stranger. But even if RochalΓ­zo can offer asylum, they have no way to navigate their island. Until the mysterious AΓ­ma begins unlocking the Mud Whale’s secrets for Chakuro…

Children of the Whales, Vol. 5 continues the thrilling tale of survival, mystery, and the pursuit of belonging in a world where the past holds more questions than answers.
