The Salt Fugitives Aaron Galvin

Any port in a storm . . . Sydney Gao escaped the castle meant to imprison her, but it meant leaving everything and everyone she had come to know in the Salt world behind. Now, on the run and sneaking through the city, she's traveling alongside a stranger with both mysterious ties to the queen and a vow to reunite Sydney with other lost loved ones. But can Sydney trust her new companion . . . or will it end in more betrayal? Chidi Etienne faces a different choice. She's never considered herself a leader, yet all of the other former Selkie slaves brought ashore with her now look to Chidi for answers of where to go and what to do with their newfound freedom. Yet even as she struggles for answers, she also knows there is a monster lurking in her group . . . and if Chidi can't come up with a plan for the other Selkies soon, they might just look to him for guidance instead.
