The Dress is part of a collection of stories based on the universe of An Inmense Sea, the series of books I am currently writing and hope to publish one day. Said world is plagued by characters who navigate ambiguity, whose actions and motivations dictate how their destiny will be written. The lives of these characters intertwine in a chaotic way, bringing individuals together and separating them, changing their lives and their convictions. Pirates who work with the crown hand in hand, politicians who weave webs in plain sight and princesses who reign over rats and crows. This particular story tells the turning point of Latika, a young aristocrat who must make a difficult decision that will change the course of her life.
