A Realm Without Seas

Beneath the deep sea, the Ming live in eternal darkness. When they look up, they see a field of shifting light. Generation after generation, they have called it the sky, yet no one has ever truly drawn near. The boy Cang Yan is haunted by strange dreams. In them lies a land that does not belong beneath the sea. Unwilling to submit to a destiny stretching back countless millennia, or to let Wang Xi build a buoyancy bladder, he decides to explore upward. The terror of open space, the legendary predatory fish, the ever-shifting light above... One adventure, one fall: when ancient tales of the seafloor collide with unfamiliar dreams, the world of the Ming will be turned upside down.
