About this audiobook
For three summers the fish have failed, and the Knot is starving.
A flotilla nation of the Irish Sea, the Knot lashes its boats into one floating town and follows the herring. Now the herring is gone, and the Bound face the oldest choice their people have: cross open water to grounds no one has fished in years, or scatter to the land and cease to be a people at all.
Wren came to keep a promise. After years of searching, she and Rhea, the engineer she loved and lost, named a meeting at last: the crossings, at summer's end. But Wren arrives to a cut mooring and an empty sea. Rhea has gone on with the fleet, days ahead, and a whole nation is foundering for want of someone who can read water.
A scout can chase one sail. Or she can pilot a people. She cannot do both.
