This Sea Within.

Posted on by

This Sea Within is the second novel from author, Deborah J. Brasket following When Things Go Missing, and creator of the Writer on the Edge of the Wild blog. After having read her debut novel, I was thrilled when Deborah asked me to be a part of her blog tour, happy to have a hand in helping to get the word out about this intriguing book.

This Sea Within is a tale filled with passion, adventure, mystery, and rebellion. Follow along as Lena discovers her true origin story, and all that led to who she is now. It will keep you intrigued as she takes a path that leads her to places she never imagined and reveals secrets along the way. Lena will find a new inner strength and her rebel spirit will come into play as she rises to the many challenges in front of her. You’ll journey along the path of discovery with Lena and won’t be able to put this down.

 Here’s a small taste from an early chapter:

(Lena is in her bedroom trying to decide what she wants to do when she graduates with degrees in journalism and art.)

‘The truth is Lena really isn’t ready to start graduate school. That’s why she could never decide which program to accept. She needs to get out of her comfort zone to figure out what she wants to do with her life. She’s looking for something momentous and irresistible to give her life purpose and direction. Maybe she’ll find that in San Balanque.

There’s a whole unexplored part of herself she knows nothing about. That inner fire and restlessness, that stubbornness and passion, didn’t come from her cool, collected, and tender-hearted father. Nor did her name.

“You were named after a Mayan goddess,” her mother told her when she was a child. “Malenque was beautiful and brave, like you. She saved her kingdom from the horrible tyrant Vucub, the Demon Sea-Dragon who ruled the underworld.”

“Tell me,” Lena said, and so she did, reading from a beautifully illustrated book about Malenque and her brother Balanque, the legendary Hero Twins. They were the patron saints of San Balanque, the heart of its origin story. Lena carries the name as well as the blood of a heritage she knows little about.’

  3. I want to read how Lena discovers for herself—her true origin story, and all that led to who she is now, which whispers to me that this story has a happy ending. Just like I like them. And Maya happenings? I like it already. Thanks. Sounds like my kind of book. Thanks for making me aware of it Beth. 🤞 I hope I win a copy 😜 all the best with the tour. Congrats to the author. Beautiful cover 👏🏽
