The Shining Sea

IS HOPE ITSELF THE ONLY ANSWER?

The renowned author of the Ring novels unravels a story of
lovers wrestling with the darkness within themselves—be it selfishness, lust,
or despair—in a deeply introspective romantic mystery that will tug at your
mind as well as your heart.

A seemingly amnesiac woman sits mutely before her
psychiatrist. Unable, or perhaps unwilling, to speak, the only time she shows
any hint of emotion is when she hums a song—and the song becomes the first
clue.

Pregnant but abandoned by her lover, who boarded a tuna boat
to brave turbulent waters far from home, she’d waded into the pitch-black waves
one evening to drown herself…because when you feel like you’re stranded at sea
all by yourself in the dead of the night, those waves call for you, lulling you
to sink into the silence beneath.

What we go on to discover is a cursed fate, a ruthless
reality, and the dark humor of a world ruled by the indifferent forces of
chance. They say you never know what the future holds, but what if you’re told
that you only have precisely a fifty-fifty chance of attaining happiness?
