"I saw the sprawl of the port, the great ships bobbing in the harbor, and beyond that blue, and blue, and blue again. The sea seemed to go on forever, stretching into an impossibly distant horizon. ... A breeze came in off the water, carrying the smell of salt and damp, the faint cries of gulls."
— Description, Shadow and Bone


The True Sea is the sea which separates Fjerda, Ravka, and the Shu Han from Novyi Zem. Kerch is also an island which lies in the True Sea. The heart of Ravka was separated from the True Sea by the Unsea.

History[]

Alina Starkov and Malyen Oretsev use a golden hairpin to pay for passage across the True Sea.[1]

Under Nikolai Lantsov's command, Alexander III and Tatiana Lantsov, the former King and Queen of Ravka, are sent across the True Sea to the Southern Colonies.[2]
