3. BRIEF OVERVIEW OF STORY
Elisabetta (“Elizabeth”) is an attractive 39-year-old woman, who works on board cruise ships
as a shop manager and supervisor.
All her life, like her mother Rosina, she has had premonitory dreams (“premonitions ), but they‟
can’t talk about them within the family because Primo, her father, is sceptical.
After the death of her father, Elizabeth begins to dream about him and realizes that, in “spirit”,
he is no longer sceptical, and through her dreams, he helps prepare her to face her own future
…. a future that, unless a miracle happens, will become tragic for her due to a degenerative
myopia that has caused two holes at the centre of her retina, she will eventually lose the job
she loves so much; and, in time, will more than likely eventually go blind!
On March 1991, after receiving messages from her father, in two dreams, inviting her to
prepare for an upcoming voyage on a ship leaving for the Orient, Elizabeth, readies herself.
Her father makes her understand that she will still experience serious health problems, but
reassures her that he will always be around her and through Spirit’s help, will cure her with the
aid of an Indian prince.
Her father makes it clear that her experiences on the ship will become her own life’s “odyssey ;‟
and that, through her, so many other people will be helped.
Although dogged by her own illness and the numerous dramas and fated dangers and
disasters aboard the ship among crew and passengers, and her drive, determination, and
passions, help her overcome all obstacles. Her dreams and premonitions provide her with the
“insights” she will need to avert the dangers to be faced… and through her dreams and her
wisdom and love, so many others also find their own inner peace.
When she is caught in a rainfall and doesn’t get wet, Elizabeth sees this as a further sign of
reassurance from her father and the spirit world.
She then understands she will be able to accept all difficulties with a renewed wisdom amid
the trials and tribulations of emotional and sometimes harrowing voyages of dramas involving
storms, dreams, ancient beliefs, the mafia, fire, toxic smoke, suffocating heat, and within all
this, mutiny, so many loves and lives lost and found.
And so the “Witch Queen of the Orient Sun sails on….to face her own destiny.‟
