Salt and Fury by Liz Shipton

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR WHEN THE WORLD IS UNDER WATER?

Bird Howsley is a drunken sailor with a knack for making bad decisions.

Unfortunately, she lives in a brutal dystopian water world where survival depends on being a strong sailor and making smart choices.

Bird has one lifeline: her level-headed sailing teacher, Sargo Paz. He’s a second-generation immigrant working hard to prove himself, and for reasons Bird can’t fathom, he seems to like her.

But when a cryptic message from her dead brother sets Bird on a mission to find answers about her past, one reckless act puts her and Sargo in the crosshairs of a dangerous underground organization that wants them dead.

Forced to flee their hometown, they sail into the Salt—where close proximity and harrowing seas stir up turbulent feelings, and they discover that the organization they’re running from runs deeper than they know…

Desperate but determined, Bird sets out to rescue the friend she may be falling in love with. But the closer she gets to Sargo, the closer she gets to the truth about the people that took him…and about herself.
