Saltwater Witch

Kassandra comes from the sea, but she has no memory of saltwater, seagulls, or an incoming tide. She's never seen an ocean, never heard the thunder of surf. She's an exile, betrayed by her own family, sent as far from the sea as they could arrange-somewhere in the middle of Nebraska. Everything changes the day she drowns in Red Bear Lake and discovers she can't really drown. Not in the way everyone else can. Kassandra runs away, hoping she has time to find out what the hell is going on. . . and discovers she's a prisoner-with enemies all around her, trapped between a murderous grandfather who controls an army of the drowned dead, river witches who spy on her through the plumbing, and Ms. Matrothy, the Girl's Department Director, who's been trying to kill her since she was four.

"An amazing fantasy... readers will excitedly follow Kassandra's every step as she discovers who she really is."
