What the Sea Keeps
A Tide-Bound NovellaBy Merrow Kincaid
Length3h 36m
About this audiobook
Three years ago, the sea took Marcus. It did not give him back. Sable Reed knows what she saw. She has kept it to herself for three years because saying the words out loud would make her the woman who lost her fiancé to a sea monster — and the only thing worse than not being believed is being believed. So she dives the same kelp forest where he died, every morning, alone. She tells the harbor it's research. She tells herself it's evidence. She is lying to both. What she does not know: she has not been alone in the water for twelve months. Veth is a creature the deep court banished and could not kill. Sapient. Older than her by centuries. Eight tentacles, a humanoid torso, bioluminescent points along his mantle that pulse in a pattern he cannot stop the moment her heartbeat enters the kelp. He has watched her dive every morning of his exile. He has lifted her weight belt by an ounce to see if she would notice. She did not.
