The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young

The Girl the Sea Gave Back by Adrienne Young

From Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep, comes her new gut-wrenching epic The Girl the Sea Gave Back.

For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.

For the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again--a home.

Adrienne Young is a native Texan who has relocated to California. She is a gourmand with a passion for history and travel, as well as a shameless coffee addiction. She can be found on her yoga mat, combing antique markets for ancient books, drinking wine over lengthy dinners, or vanishing into her favorite art museums when she's not writing. Under the West Coast sun, she lives with her documentary filmmaker husband and their four little wildlings. Adrienne is the author of Sky in the Deep, a New York Times bestseller, and The Girl the Sea Gave Back, which will be released later this year.
