Tress of the Emerald Sea

This is an adventure fantasy with a seafaring spirit, pirate-like dangers, and an enchanting fairy-tale atmosphere. At the heart of the story is a girl who dares to leave her safe island behind to save her friend, setting out into a world where danger may lurk even in a single drop of water.

Tress lives on a small island in the middle of the sea, leading a quiet life and cherishing salty tea, old cups with stories of their own, and people with all their peculiarities. A special place in her life belongs to Charlie — a friend whose words should not always be taken literally, but whose presence truly matters to her. But one day Charlie is forced to leave the island and go out to meet the fate political circumstances have chosen for him. Soon it becomes clear that he is in danger, and while everyone else remains on the sidelines, Tress decides to act.

This is a story for readers who love Young Adult fiction, cozy fantasy, and journeys through unusual worlds. In it, Sanderson combines gentle fairy-tale charm with the tension of adventure, and a warm, tender tone with a real sense of risk.
