Viac o knihe

An underwater treasure-chest to be slowly unpacked, full of things I adore: nosy and loving families, epistolary romance, gorgeous worldbuilding, and anxious scholars doing their best to meet the world with kindness and curiosity. A charming fantasy set in an underwater world with magical academia and a heartwarming pen pal romance, perfect for fans of whimsical tales. A beautiful discovery outside her underwater home prompts the reclusive E. to begin a correspondence with renowned scholar Henerey Clel. Their letters, initially filled with passion for mutual interests, soon blossom into love. Together, they uncover a mystery from the depths that threatens to transform their underwater world. However, a seaquake destroys E.'s home, leading to their disappearance. A year later, E.'s sister Sophy and Henerey's brother Vyerin must solve the mystery of their siblings' vanishing, using the letters, sketches, and notes left behind. As they delve into the wondrous love shared by E. and Henerey, they discover the key to their disappearance and its implications for their lives. Praise for the author highlights the enchanting underwater setting, whimsical academic sensibility, and heartwarming romance intertwined with scholarly mystery, making this a uniquely elegant and imaginative narrative that captivates from start to finish.
