Seaborn

All Life began in the ocean. The tides, the salt, the rolling waves are in our souls, and the sea will always have the power to call us home... There's a world deep under the sea, a kingdom that has endured thousands of years without the modern world knowing it exists. Those who dwell there are thalassogenêis: seaborn. Kassandra is the king's granddaughter—the one he wishes he had killed when he'd had the chance. She comes from the sea, but she's spent her whole life in exile on the surface, befriending sea-demons, foiling assassins, and learning to control strange and frightening powers she barely understands. But now she's ready to declare war on the murderous king... "From the first page of Seaborn, you are immersed. Chris Howard navigates a wild ride through a brilliantly edgy and richly atmospheric alter-world. Here is a fresh, formidable spin on fantasy, and Howard is a talent to watch out for. Seaborn will leave you spellbound."—Adele Griffin, author of where I want to be "Dark and atmospheric, Seaborn is an imaginative new entry in the world of paranormal fiction."—Liz Maverick, author of Wired, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2007 "...a fresh and entertaining read and I fully expect we will be hearing more from Chris Howard in the future."—SciFiGuy "Fascinating read..." —Romantic Times 4 star review
