Scars of Salt and Silver by Indiana Rose

“X marks the spot…”
Ten years ago, pirates ravaged the city of Orlenea. Freya is a survivor of the raids. Rescued by a furtive syndicate, she was made into a spy and given a life debt: to repay her saviours with secrets. Now a young woman, Freya longs to reclaim her life and leave the city, its secrets, and her haunted past behind.
Then she meets Hex, a roguish sailor who might just be able to give her the freedom she has been hoping for. Thrown together by fate or by something much darker, Hex offers Freya a job – to recreate a mysterious map, one that hints of strange lands and fabled creatures. A map that only she can draw. Where it leads, Freya does not know. But in a world where knowledge is power, she soon learns that everyone wants the map for themselves. And they’ll do just about anything to get it…
This is a tale of dark secrets and deadly consequences. Of desperate adventures, a passion to live against the odds, and of long-forgotten creatures who revel in death and chaos.
