About this item
On a stormy night in 1421, the North Sea delivers a devastating blow to Holland: the Saint Elizabeth Flood, a deluge of biblical proportions that drowns hundreds of towns, thousands of people, and forever alters the geography of the Low Countries. Where the factions of the noble Hooks and the merchant Cods waged a literal class war but weeks before, there is now only a nigh-endless expanse of grey water, a desolate inland sea with moldering church spires jutting up like sunken tombstones. For a land already beleaguered by generations of civil war, a worse disaster could scarce be imagined.Yet even disaster can be profitable, for the right sort of individual, and into this flooded realm sail three conspirators: a deranged thug at the edge of madness, a ruthless conman on the cusp of fortune, and a half-feral girl balanced between them.
About the Author
So long as you're cool with discovering just how dull I really am, I welcome adds here, on FB, LJ etc. My novels and are available in a variety of languages. I have it on admittedly shaky authority that they are charming. My third novel, , will be released in December of 2012--no word yet on how charming it will be, but I'm sure I'll be the first to know. I have short fiction free for the reading at and , among sundry other places--a full (-ish, depending on how slack I've been about updating it) list of my published works can be found on As for Good Reads, I'm only going to include books that I review, even briefly, to prevent myself from spending all day online assembling a massive list of beloved books. I tend to only review books I finish and only finish books I like, so my ratings tend to be on the high side.
