The small villages in the region are destroyed by massive floods. To appease the Sea God, each year they sacrifice a beautiful maiden to be his bride. Mina never wished to be the bride of the Sea God but when her brother’s future bride is selected, she throws herself in as the sacrifice. Mina travels in the spirit realm and is helped by three sprits along her way. Her goal is to find the Sea God and find out why he has not stopped the floods.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I really enjoyed Mina’s journey and the spirits she encountered along the way. If you like folklore, you will enjoy this book.
