The sea has flooded the earth. North lives on a circus boat, floating between the scattered islands that remain. She dances with her beloved bear, while the rest of the crew trade dazzling and death-defying feats for food from the islanders.

However, North has a secret that could capsize her life with the circus. Callanish lives alone in her house in the middle of the ocean, with only the birds and the fish for company. As penance for a terrible mistake, she works as a gracekeeper, tending the graves of those who die at sea. What drove her from home is also what pulls her towards North.

When a storm creates a chance meeting between the two girls, their worlds change. They are magnetically drawn to one another, and the promise of a new life. But the waters are treacherous, and the tide is against them.

Critic reviews

"Beautiful and bewitching: read it and be swept away on a magical wave of love and language." ( The Bookseller)
"In luscious, vivid prose, Logan brings to mind Angela Carter, or Atwood or Winterson at their best." ( The Independent)

A magical story and beautifully read by the author. The story is packed with imagination and the characters really came to life. I loved the descriptions of life in the circus. I couldn't tell enough people about this book.

lushious read

The characters and descriptions catch the reader from the first chapter. It is a convincing but very different world in which North, the bear girl, and Callanesh, the Gracekeeper, meet and work towards a resolution of their troubles. A world in which rising sea levels have drowned the cities and islanded people in isolated groups.
The narration by the author is superb
I feel reluctant to start another book, this was so satisfying and intriguing.

An inspiring story, a new world of imagination
