The Sea of Tranquility

My reality is devoid of enchantment and wonders. A land without angels, shapeshifters, clairvoyants, or superhuman guys to come rescue you. A place where everything is bad, music fades, and people die. The weight of reality presses me so firmly against the ground that there are days when I question how I manage to raise my feet and move.

Nastya Kashnikov, a former prodigy on the piano, has two goals in life: she wants to finish high school unseen and get revenge on the person who stole her identity, soul, and desire to live.

It's no secret that Josh Bennett has lost everyone he loves until he is left with no one at the age of seventeen. Now all he wants is to be left alone, and people let him have it since people prefer to give you space when your name is associated with death.

Everyone that is, that is, apart from Nastya, the enigmatic new student at the school who keeps coming up and refusing to go until she has ingratiated herself into every part of his life. But the more he learns about her, the more mysterious she seems to be. He begins to doubt if he really wants to know the secrets she has been keeping as their friendship becomes closer and the questions remain unanswered.

The narrative of a lonely guy, an emotionally vulnerable girl, and the wonder of second chances is told in the rich, dramatic, and masterfully written novel The Sea of Tranquilly.
