The Salt Children Aaron Galvin

Time waits for no one . . . Sydney Gao set off to rescue her friends knowing that they would do the same for her if she was kidnapped . . . except Sydney doesn't know where her friends are, let alone how to find them. She does know where to start though - the underwater Salt realm, a dangerous and unforgiving world swarming with lethal merfolk and other Selkie slavers. Fortunately, Sydney believes she has found a guide to navigate its dark waters and the seedy shifters residing both above and beneath the waves. But the clock is always ticking . . . Her friend, Kellen Winstel, understands this better than most. Locked away in the darkened underbelly of a modern day slave ship, an eternity of servitude is the best he can hope for if he is unable to escape before the slaver crew reaches their destination. If he can't escape . . . Kellen might rather choose death than a Selkie life. THE SALT CHILDREN is the seventh episode in an epic saga of lethal merfolk, murderous Selkies, and the innocent souls trapped in their deadly wake. If you like thrilling adventure, sprawling world-building and a mythology you never knew existed, then you'll love this action-packed series.
