Cover for Salt

What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater?

In a brutal dystopian waterworld, where survival depends on skill and smarts, Bird Howsley is a beautiful disaster. Or...maybe just a disaster, period.

When a mysterious message arrives from the brother she thought was dead, Bird bribes her surly (and hot) mentor Sargo Paz to help her find him. Together, they voyage across a dangerous, drowning high-tech world ravaged by bloodthirsty pirates, global disaster, and dark political secrets.

Their journey kicks off an epic tale spanning nine books, seven oceans, five alternate dimensions, and three intertwining love stories.

A perfect storm of fast-paced adventure and slow-burn romance for fans of YA dystopian who grew up and decided they'd like a little spice with their revolution.

These books contain explicit sexual content.
