"What the sea wants, the sea will have," goes the sailor's proverb. And in a fog-shrouded corner of coastal Maine, a girl raised on maritime folklore is drawn to the sea by a strange passion.
But when a swim turns deadly on the last day of summer, she learns the awful scope of the sea's power. And the boy who snatches her from the water discovers that the old legends hold a dark
truth... Set in scenic coastal Maine, What the Sea Wants explores how truth turns to story and story turns to legend through the tale of two young people who experience first-hand the magic and
power of the sea.
