BLURB
Point Break meets Buffy in
post-apocalyptic Cape Town, South Africa.
They say that surfing used to be
a way of life.
In Devil’s Bay, it’s the only way to survive.
My name is Carlyle. I’m a water
witch who protects the fishermen of my village from the danger beneath the
waves. My days are spent on my longboard saving everyone from the fins. My
nights are spent dreaming of something more than my small village isolated from
the outside contact by cliffs and jagged peaks.
Then a storm strikes out of the
blue, and, well, I wipe out. When I wake up, I’m on the other side of the bay
surrounded by vampires who want to see me dead. Major bummer.
Only Kopano, an outcast of the
fangers, seems to take pity on me. You see, Kopano also spent his nights
dreaming of something more, and he thinks I hold the key. The only catch? To
find the truth, we’ll have to face the dead blue sea.
EXCERPT:
“There’s
some sort of irony,” I grumble, “in being sensitive to sunlight but also having
to be outside during the day. Every damn
day.”
She
shrugs. “Do you want me to go tell the sharks to stop being nocturnal and hunt
during the day?”
I
snicker. “Aw, could you? Because then the fishermen could do their thing at
night. And we could all avoid the sun like good, self-respecting, UV-sensitive
witches.”
She
chuckles darkly. “Ag,
if only! But this is what we signed up for.”
I
flick some sea water her way, and she squeals in mock-shock. “I signed up for
this?”
Her
smile falters. “Well, your mother did. But you’re still out here.”
Not
that I really have any choice in the matter. It’s what’s best for the village,
and there’s no denying that. I’m the best remaining water witch—if I suddenly
stopped, we all knew that fishermen would lose their lives, food would become
scarce in my village, and my own sense of self-preservation would be to blame.
Stuck
between a shark and a wet place, I guess.
