Girls of Salt and Sea

"Don't go back to Halcyon Bay."



24-year-old Dell Costa knows nothing of the island where she was born, nor of the distant family that calls it home. For years, she's lived a world away from Halcyon Bay, fiercely protected from the secrets of her past. But when Dell receives notice that her estranged grandmother has died, and her mother falls into a sudden downward spiral, she is determined to figure out why. 

Returning to the island one stormy night, Dell resides at her grandparents' seaside estate over a long weekend of funeral proceedings, learning of her family's tragic history and the strange local folklore concerning drowned girls. With the help of a captivating young fisherman, Dell discovers that her childhood home teems with dangers at every turn-some even lurk beneath the crashing waves. 

Nothing on Halcyon Bay is as it seems on the surface, and when small town whispers prove to be more than hearsay, Dell finds herself at the center of a dangerous plot with deadly repercussions.

In Girls of Salt and Sea, debut author Natalia Macias Lucia weaves a sultry, atmospheric tale dripping with haunting secrets, electrifying romance, and dark loyalties. Readers will be swept away on a thrilling wave of suspense into a story as intoxicating and mysterious as the sea itself.
