A Library Journal Editor' s Pick!Flowers for the Sea is a dark, dazzling debut novella that reads like Rosemary' s Baby by way of Octavia E. ButlerWe are a people who do not forget. Survivors from a flooded kingdom struggle alone on an ark. Resources are scant, and ravenous beasts circle. Their fangs are sharp. Among the refugees is Iraxi: ostracized, despised, and a commoner who refused a prince, she' s pregnant with a child that might be more than human. Her fate may be darker and more powerful than she can imagine. Zin E. Rocklyn' s extraordinary debut is a lush, gothic fantasy about the prices we pay and the vengeance we seek.
Praise for Flowers for the Sea"Rocklyn is angry, lyrical, honest, and heartbreaking, riding the line between fantasy and true horror" --Catherynne M.

[They] conjure Iraxi' s precarious position in fluid, lovely prose. " --Publishers Weekly "This novella will whet the appetite of fans of classics like Ira Levin' s Rosemary' s Baby, P. D. James' The Children of Men, and Octavia Butler' s Bloodchild. " --Booklist"A lush, mesmerizing novella about survival and the hope of righteous anger. An auspicious debut baring beauty and razorfangs. " --Paul Tremblay "A gorgeous, powerful debut. . . . You don' t want to miss it. " --Cassandra Khaw
