Meet the Selkies: seals by day, humans by night. Or, in the case of Tora Urchadainn: seal by day, thief by night. And Tora is just about to learn that even the best thieves sometimes get caught. Inspired by Scottish mythology about the Selkies, The Sea Thief is a YA Fantasy set in the arctic land of Narenji. As the eldest of three sisters, it is Tora's duty to hunt and kill to feed her family. Except there's one catch: Tora is scared of blood. She can't hunt. Instead, Tora has spent the past few years mastering the art of theft. Pickpocketing, shoplifting, sleight of hand - she's done them all. Every morning, she takes off her seal coat, poses around as a human, and steals her dinner from the human markets. But one day, Tora's seal coat gets stolen. And, without it, she can't turn back into a seal and swim back to her family. When Tora finds the boy who took her seal coat, they strike up a bargain: if Tora helps him steal from the Cobalt Sea Pirates, he will give her back the coat. Before she even knows it, Tora finds herself planning her biggest heist yet. And this time, it's not her dinner that's on the line. It's her life. Gorgeous cover by @awesomeSTG

Pain. I hadn't felt it in a long time. Now, finally, it came back. The all too familiar sensation wrenched out the subconscious of mind and gave it conscience. Allowed it to spring to life. By lightning reflex, a dagger appeared within my hands. The drowsiness of sleep was blasted aside and gave way to a surging storm of energy. I had been found. The enemy in front blinded me with bright light emitted from the palm of her right hand. A sorceress. I had been careless. My left cheek pulsated in warning. I had been attacked. Had she struck me with a curse? Poison? It may be timely to die. But not like this. I took aim and launched the dagger. // Cynthe is a sorceress from the magic city of Melintha. Her life is normal(ish). Until the gods mysteriously send her away to an unknown world to heed her call of fate. To find a secretive warrior and explore new wonders as she embarks on the biggest adventure of the aeon. Or not. She could also just mind her own business and herd goats or something. Turn the virtual page already to find to find out what happens in this ancient and awe-inspiring (goat-filled??) world!
