The Girl the Sea Gave Back - Epic Fantasy by Adrienne Young
From New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young comes The Girl the Sea Gave Back, a gut-wrenching epic fantasy that explores themes of identity, belonging, and the power of prophecy. This hardcover novel delivers a gripping tale set in a world of warring clans, ancient runes, and a girl caught between her past and her destiny.
Story Overview
Tova has lived among the Svell people since they found her washed ashore as a child. Used for her gift as a Truthtongue, she bears sacred symbols and staves inked across her skin—marks that identify her as one who can cast rune stones and see into the future. Though her own clan and home are distant memories, these runic markings connect her to a heritage she barely remembers.
Her fragile existence among those who fear her powers faces its greatest threat when two eastern clans end their generations-old blood feud and unite as one. This alliance shifts the balance of power on the mainland, forcing the Svell leaders into an unprecedented division: maintain peace or wage war to protect their position.
When the chieftain turns to Tova to cast the stones and divine their path forward, she sets in motion events that will reshape the mainland forever. Through this prophecy, she discovers the possibility of something she thought lost—a true home.
