The Floating World

Emily Settle at Feiwel and Friends has acquired The Floating World by Axie Oh (The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea; XOXO). In this YA fantasy duology inspired by Celestial Maidens from Korean myth and pitched as Final Fantasy meets Castle in the Sky, an amnesiac sword-for-hire and a theater troupe performer with mysterious powers discover that their destinies will change the fate of multiple worlds. Publication is planned for 2024; Patricia Nelson at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency negotiated the deal for world rights.
