To The Sea

by Mukoubi Aoi. Published 2024 by Glacier Bay Books. Please read the full description below, including content note.

Luca no longer approaches the human cities like she sometimes would… These days, it’s rare to even see the silhouette of a ship. It’s as if I’ve wandered into a completely different world…

The voices of dolphins reach hundreds of kilometers in the water. The creatures of the sea have a network wider than earthbound humans could ever imagine.

I am a member of the Triton tribe, a protector of the ocean’s peace. Although, I can’t really claim that I’ve been defending anything. All I’ve been doing is running away.

I want to return to the world of humans…

A dolphin wanders the quiet tributaries of Tokyo. A green-haired girl carrying her father’s blade disappears into the night. A dream of a world as unkind as our own, and a story of the youth forever cast down with the burden of their forebearers.

This is the world of orichalcum, the mysterious, seemingly unlimited power of the Tritons, and the world of Poseidon, whose dominion continuously extends, reaching inexorably into the heart of all living things.

Note: Due to mature content, this title is recommended for mature/adult readers, and is not recommended for younger readers.
