A death and a dark family secret see the orphaned Fleur finding her sea legs and a thirst for adventure in this brooding and brilliant book from an exciting new talent.

Sara quit university to become a dancer, appearing in white jump suits in appalling pop videos, but returned to complete a degree in English, with Writing and Publishing. She put her degree to good use by running away to America with a rock band and working as a waitress. On her return to London, Sara started working in book publishing. Moving from export sales into the editorial department of Hodder and Stoughton, she worked for the Editorial Director and commissioned contemporary fiction and sagas. She currently works as a literary agent for United Agents as well as working as a freelance editor specializing in commercial fiction and children's books. Sara lives in West Sussex with her husband, Toby, and their three-year-old son, Tom.
