The Floating World: The epic fantasy romance about destiny, and the power of light in a world of darkness

Více o knize

From Axie Oh, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea, comes a romantic fantasy reimagining a Korean legend. Sunho, an ex-soldier living in the Under World, struggles to recall his past after waking up alone with only his name and sword. He takes on odd jobs to survive until he discovers a lucrative opportunity: capturing a girl who wields silver light. Meanwhile, Ren is a spirited acrobat traveling with her adoptive family. During a festival performance, their village is attacked by a terrifying demon. In a moment of desperation, Ren unleashes a hidden power—silver light—that kills the monster but not before her family suffers a tragic loss. To save her gravely injured uncle from a poisoned wound, Ren embarks on a journey over the mountains, the same place she fled from a decade ago. As fate would have it, her path intersects with Sunho's, who is unaware that she is the girl he and many mercenaries are hunting. As they travel together, they begin to uncover the deep connections between their pasts and destinies, revealing a bond that neither of them could have anticipated.
