From Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Sky in the Deep, comes her new gut-wrenching epic The Girl the Sea Gave Back. For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse. For the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again—a home.

Some girls from your past you better never see again. My own Brenda, eight months pregnant, was sitting back at home, but Lieve was sitting on the barstool right next to me, red-haired and freckled and, from the first instant my eyes met her green eyes, I knew that I would be making the worst mistake of my life. She was just enchanting. I don't use that word very often, but she was, in the true sense of that word. "Keep my crutch free," she said at one point, parroting Hazes and his mindless song. "So, she'll never come back," I thought. But this story didn't unfold like the lyrics of that old crooner. She really did go to the washroom and, just a couple of minutes later, Lieve - that's what she called herself - came back. She asked me if I would like to take her home. I could hardly believe that this was really happening. She was too young, I was too old and, on top of everything else, I was too married. And, what was more, I would be a father in a couple of weeks. Of course, I should have just thanked her for her company and offered to call her a cab. Just three kisses on the cheek, and that would be that. That's how it should have gone. But it didn't go that way. Twenty years ago, Paul Meertens cheated on the woman he had just married. Now, while he has a good job with an IT company, he is face to face with his one-night stand of the time, Lieve Breevoort. She is applying for the position of management assistant. Paul is upset, but pulls up. He decides to send a rejection letter and forget about the whole incident as soon as possible. But this time Lieve cannot be pushed aside so easily. He soon sees her as a dance teacher for his youngest daughter, as his wife's new squash partner and as a substitute at school. He is really starting to see her everywhere. Is he going crazy? No, it is worse than that. She's out for revenge and she's had a damn long time to prepare it... A hard-hitting

No one ever really paid close attention to the faces of the missing children on the milk cartons. But as Janie Johnson glanced at the face of the ordinary little girl with her hair in tight pigtails, wearing a dress with a narrow white collar—a three-year-old who had been kidnapped twelve years before from a shopping mall in New Jersey—she felt overcome with shock. She recognized that little girl—it was she. How could it possibly be true? Janie can't believe that her loving parents kidnapped her, but as she begins to piece things together, nothing makes sense. Something is terribly wrong. Are Mr. and Mrs. Johnson really her parents? And if not, who is Janie Johnson, and what really happened?
