Quest: Flooded and Mysterious

A place that is neither land nor water will surely hide certain mysteries. The allure of the wetlands should not prevent one from recognizing the dangers that lurk within. As enchanting as it may be, its magic is drenched in peril. Come nighttime, its beauty intensifies, fireflies light up the dark and the moonlight bounces off of tranquil waters, but the dangers remain… Oh well, let's go in anyway.

Add books you've read that feature a swamp or marsh biome as one the main settings, or that talk about swamps or marshes.
