Deadly storms. An ancient curse. Will her sacrifice save them all? For generations, deadly storms have ravaged Mina' s homeland. Her people believe the Sea God, once their protector, now curse them with death and despair. To appease him, each year a maiden is thrown into the sea, in the hopes that one day the ' true bride' will be chosen and end the suffering. Many believe Shim Cheong - Mina' s brother' s beloved - to be the legendary true bride. But on the night Cheong is sacrificed, Mina' s brother follows her, even knowing that to interfere is a death sentence. To save her brother, Mina throws herself into the water in Cheong' s stead. Swept away to the Spirit Realm, a magical city of lesser gods and mythical beasts, Mina finds the Sea God, trapped in an enchanted sleep. With the help of a mysterious young man and a motley crew of demons, gods and spirits, Mina sets out to wake him and bring an end to the storms once and for all. But she doesn' t have much time: a human cannot live long in the land of the spirits. And there are those who would do anything to keep the Sea God from waking . . . The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is a magical feminist retelling of a classic Korean legend, perfect for fans of Uprooted and Miyazaki' s SpiritedAway. ' Clever, creative, and exquisitely written' Stephanie Garber, Sunday Times bestselling author of Caraval ' A beautiful, mesmerizing retelling' Elizabeth Lim, New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes
