Dark Water Daughter is an exciting and imaginative start to a nautical fantasy series. While not flawless, it offers strong characters, vivid magic and a world that feels dangerous and alive. We came away eager to see where the next tide carries these characters.
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Dark Water Daughter is set on seas ruled by fear, song, and unfinished vengeance. Mary Firth is a Stormsinger, born with a voice powerful enough to calm storms or tear fleets apart. When a deathless pirate lord claims her talents, she survives by striking a dangerous bargain, offering her power to his enemy in exchange for protection and the promise of revenge. Yet escape does not quiet what follows her. Her sleep is troubled by ghistings, ancient presences bound to forests and ship figureheads, watching and waiting.
Samuel Rosser is chasing the same pirate for reasons of his own. Once a naval officer, now disgraced, he serves aboard a privateer driven by obsession and loss. Mary stands between him and the restoration of his name, holding something he believes keeps him sane.
As pursuit carries them toward the frozen margins of the world, loyalties fracture and older forces rise from the deep. Dark Water Daughter is a brooding, salt stained fantasy where power is never free, and survival demands more than courage alone.
