A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Fifteen-year-old Kat is more her father’s housekeeper than his daughter. She must stay close to the hearth, cover her bright hair, and behave like a perfect future wife, for only by marrying well can she redeem her father’s reputation. Most of all, she must stay far from Downshore and its savage people—and far from the sea, to which she is powerfully drawn. When at last she gives in to its call and steals to the beach, she finds a gravely injured young man: one of the Rigi, a tribe of half-forgotten seal-people. To save him she must defy her father and her community and ask the people of Downshore for help. But does she have the strength to stand on her own?
