Synopsis

Smoky furnaces, torn sails, violent weather, the SS Raven continually attracts bad luck. Simple fate? Or . . . her mother? Growing up the daughter of a necromancer prepares one for almost anything: melting noses, withering limbs, smelly hordes of Once Dead. All of which pale when compared to the ultimate torture—mal de mer—also known as the sea plague. Miss Abigail Crumb finally earns her sea legs only to find herself in the midst of a violent storm that sweeps nine crewmembers and half the ship’s supplies overboard. Rumors circulate among the crew—it’s the women. Women always bring bad luck. But there’s a sinister plot whistling through the rigging, a plot that threatens to drown them all if Abby fails to turn the tide.

À propos de l'auteur

Growing up in the wilds of the Sierra Nevada mountains, surrounded by deer and beaver, muskrat and bear, Louisa Swann found ample fodder for her equally wild imagination. As an adult, she spins both experiences and imagination into tales that span multiple genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, and her newest love—steampunk. Her short stories have appeared in Mercedes Lackey’s Elementary Magic and Valdemar anthologies (which she’s thrilled to participate in!); Esther Friesner’s Chicks and Balances; and several Fiction River anthologies, including No Humans Allowed and Reader’s Choice. Her new steampunk/weird west series, Abby Crumb, debuted this summer. Find out more at www.louisaswann.com.
