The Salt Between Stars
Mara Vale lives in a river town where the dead are meant to stay dead, provided no one opens the old tide gates. When the gates fail and the drowned begin returning with pieces of other people's memories, Mara is forced to work with the town's most inconvenient exile to find out what was sealed beneath the water. The answers point to a bargain the town has spent generations pretending not to remember.
