Toadface: Volume One Of "The Salt Chronicles" Trilogy

In the impoverished shacks of a squatter settlement, amid the boiling houses, salt works and fish-gutting plants of a Kingdom torn apart by dynastic conflict, a young woman experiences a series of events that lead her to yearn for reprisal, retaliation and revenge. She lives in a land of lawlessness, a land of salt-smuggling and people-trafficking, where she battles against impossible odds. This opening volume of 'The Salt Chronicles' Trilogy is the story of her struggle for survival, set at a time when the rule of the High King, and the continuation of the dynasty itself, is threatened by the ambitions of ruthless men. Creepy, mysterious and magical, this is a story with a dark edge, where the clash of personal destinies matters as much as the shattering of a Kingdom.
