Unsailable Sea

Buggeration! Without knowing it she’d been recruited into unearthing Carter’s bloody network, just as The Baron wanted!

When Lucien Dufray’s cat and flock of birds turn up at Tricky’s cabin, she knows something’s wrong. But when her crystal ball shows her one thing and Adric tells her another, Tricky becomes suspicious – which might be her natural state, but there was nothing natural about Dufray’s disappearance. Adric wants her to find him, but has Dufray been kidnapped or has he turned traitor?

Between her mother’s jade calling to her in the forest of Ferriston, The Rabble, an untrustworthy fae collective directing her to the Unsailable Sea, and her spy glass showing her Dimitry Stanislav, one of her mother’s murderers, Tricky is confused.

The only witnesses to Dufray’s exodus were his menagerie, so Tricky recruits an old friend, Nathan Rothschild, who can communicate with cats, and Annie’s ex-girlfriend, Safa Odeh, who can communicate with birds, and together they try to piece together what happened that night.

What they uncover is a plot deeper than the network’s underground bunkers. Will Tricky be able to find Dufray or will she risk capture? Either way she needs to keep her wits about her and remember she’s the tricky one.

Tricky’s Tales are a series of dark paranormal fantasy novels set a few hundred years from now in a post-apocalyptic world. After a massive shift of the tectonic plates has decimates the population and the land, life on the remaining landmass has returned back to simple living, with money, rulers and religion no longer tolerated.
