Περιγραφή
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 Spirited Away.
