Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

In the 15th century Low Countries, a civil war rages that is anything but civil between the merchant class (the Cods) and the nobles (the Hooks).This will bring into conflict noble and merchant, land-owner and land-worker, father and son, and, unbeknownst to all but a select few, human and monster.

Contraportada:

Even disaster can yield riches for the right sort of criminal...

The great flood killed thousands overnight - turning the towns between the warring cities of Dordrecht and Geertruidenburg into a desolate inland sea.
Into this ruined land sail three uneasy conspirators: a ruthless conman, a thug at the edge of madness and a half-feral girl who swims like a fish. Working together they could find fortune beyond reckoning beneath the waves, but the lost souls below will not give up their treasures so easily.
And even if these three can survive the dark waters, that's no guarantee they will survive each other.

Praise for Jesse Bullington:

'Not for the faint-hearted - Tarantino crossed with Rabelais'
Guardian

'As the antithesis of conventional fantasy, this is a tour de force'
Telegraph
