A magical underwater fantasy adventure inspired by Korean folklore - perfect for fans of KPop Demon Hunters!
If you had pulled me aside and told me I'd soon be known as the hero who saved my people from total destruction, I probably would've laughed in your face …
Every year, the girls on Jung's island take the Dive - leaping into the depths of the ocean to bring back a treasure which predicts their fate. Some girls find pearls for good luck, or shells for strong foundations. But when Jung takes the Dive, she finds magic.
Now trapped in an underwater kingdom ruled by a vengeful queen, Jung's only chance to escape is to find the lost dragons and harness their powerful magic. Jung and her unlikely ally Jae must set off on a dangerous quest, but can they uncover the truth about the Dragon Queendom, before it's too late to save both their worlds?
Inspired by the Korean folktale Shim Jung, this is an epic adventure about friendship, belonging and finding the courage to take the leap.
Julia Riew is a composer-lyricist, librettist, and novelist known for her Korean-folktale inspired musical Dive and her young adult fantasy novel The Last Tiger , which she co-authored with her brother Brad Riew. In addition to winning the 18th Annual Fred Ebb Award, Julia has been Playbill's Featured Songwriter of the Month, a Woman to Watch on Broadway, and a Princess Grace Award Honoraria recipient.
