Young Dow Amber is no sailor. But driven by a strange sea-longing he ventures from the high country of New Island all the way down to a grim fishing village on the shores of the bay known as the Claw. There he finds a cursed people living in dread not only of the mysterious Ship Kings that rule their country, but also of the fury of the ocean itself. When the Ship Kings sail their tall ships into the Claw, Dow's forbidden longing only grows. Who are the Ship Kings? How do they navigate the high seas? And what of the strange and fascinating girl who lives aboard one of their ships? When the whirlpool rises, will the call of the sea lead Dow to his heart's desire or to certain death?

Andrew McGahan is the author of Praise, The White Earth (which won the Miles Franklin Literary Award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize) and Wonders of a Godless World.
In a world ruled by a merciless island society, Rye is born far from the sea, but his first sight of the ocean awakens an undeniable urge to sail. Released from his family, he is placed with a sour drunkard who is haunted by the Whirlpool, a force of nature beyond reckoning. He has a natural seafaring ability and also, as he discovers, a secret heritage that will be the death of him if the Ship Kings find out. Dashing, mysterious and further proof of this award-winning author's versatility! Lindy
