"I wonder if it happens in a day, for your fate to change. Or if it takes longer for your life to be stolen from you." 
 
The world of THE GIRL WHO FELL BENEATH THE SEA is one filled with magic. 
 
One that takes place beneath the waves of a storming sea in the depths of the Spirit Realm–a city swarming with spirits and gods. 
One with fox demons, Imugi, and moon goddesses. 
One that finds souls connected by bright red ribbons of fate. 
 
It’s a world that does not hesitate to suck you in to its whimsy. 
 
And yet–even with this magic almost pouring out of its pages, it is still a world that you can truly find yourself in. 
 
In the tender connections between new friends. 
In the love shared between family–old, new, and found. 
In the fierce determination to not give up. 
In the laughter and the tears. 
In the pain and joy of the journey. 
 
And thus is both the lure and the promise of fantasy. A world so different from our own that still helps us to make just a little bit more sense of ourselves and our world. 🤍
