In a far-off future, after the Second Deluge, a secret order of women-The Mirage-live secluded on an island hidden by tides and time.
Drifting between myth, memory, and ecological allegory, The Deep Green Sea tells the dual tale of Orla, a grieving acolyte searching for the Isle's sanctuary, and Roe, a Selkie child born in liminal shadow, carrying a mysterious fate.
Through stunning lyrical prose and haunting artwork, Kelsey Ashe crafts a modern myth that speaks to our longing for healing, rebirth, and reconnection with the natural world.
Written and illustrated by award-winning Australian artist Dr. Kelsey Ashe, this novella is both a visual and literary odyssey.

"A spellbinding homage to the daughter of a Selkie, Kelsey Ashe continues to mesmerize across this ecological allegory. Her exquisitely illustrated Deep Green Sea will ferry readers off to Avalon. Imagine the break of Hokusai's wave in the chambers of a surrealist grotto. Or beach-combing Angela Carter's "new wine in old bottles" on an Antipodean shore."
- Dr. Catriona McAra: Author, Feminist Surrealism in the Contemporary Novel.
"Surreal and Magical. Your book pulls me in and out of the present and I fall into your drawings as if I am inside the dream. Your words flow like water or a steady beating drum. And all colour evaporates, it's just 'chiaroscuro', contrasting light and shadows. It's like being asleep and being woken with a phrase or command that suddenly causes you to remember.... Everything! It's beautiful."
- Kate Ceberano AM: Singer/Songwriter.
