"Ocean's Tale: The Handmaid's Sacrifice" invites young readers into a vibrant underwater world where a humble Handmaid's compassion changes the fate of countless creatures.When the kind-hearted Handmaid is captured by Bottomless, the tyrannical blue Crab King, she finds herself transformed into a beautiful mer-creature and imprisoned in his kingdom. Surrounded by fish trapped in blue buckets and purple pails, she discovers that true beauty lies not in pearls and shells, but in the courage to help others.With the aid of Season the Seahorse and his chariot service, the Handmaid faces a choice between her own freedom and the liberation of all Bottomless's prisoners.
