Giant turtles impossible ships and tidal rivers ridden by a Drowned girl in search of a
family in the latest in the bestselling Hugo and Nebula Award-Winning Wayward Children series
from Seanan McGuire. Nadya had three mothers: the one who bore her the country that
poisoned her and the one who adopted her. Nadya never considered herself less than whole
not until her adoptive parents fitted her with a prosthetic arm against her will seeking to
replace the one she'd been missing from birth. It was cumbersome it was uncomfortable it was
wrong. It wasn't her . Frustrated and unable to express why Nadya began to wander until the
day she fell through a door into Belyrreka the Land Beneath the Lake--and found herself in a
world of water filled with child-eating amphibians majestic giant turtles and impossible
ships that sailed as happily beneath the surface as on top. In Belyrreka she found herself
understood for who she was: a Drowned Girl who had made her way to her real home accepted by
the river and its people. But even in Belyrreka there are dangers and trials and Nadya
would soon find herself fighting to keep hold of everything she had come to treasure.
