Myra and her daughter Pearl, live on a boat, a precarious life, reliant on the fish they catch. When Myra discovers that her eldest daughter, the daughter that her husband took with him when he left her, may still be alive, she is determined to find her.
This is a pretty bleak book: people live in fear of illness, starvation, storms and pirates. These pirates kill for people’s possessions, take slaves, run ‘breeding ships’ - and they want to build their own territories on dry land.
This is reminiscent of the film Water World in some places - the promise of a better, dry place to live, the strong preying on the weak. It’s also a book about sacrifice and the lengths a mother will go to to protect her children.
This won’t be the book for you if you like a happy ending, but if you enjoy a book that’s beautifully descriptive, both in emotion and seascape, you’ll love this.

This wasn't really, in my opinion, a romance. I don't know. There was so much going on. Lies, abuse, killings... typical pirates, I guess, but I struggled to get into it. I didn't understand the allure of the captain, really, but he managed to get two guys wanting him and having him. I was intrigued by the story but I didn't entirely get it. What was with the heart thing?
I dont think I'll be reading the rest of the series.
