Synopsis

A 40 page short story from the Memento Mori world. Most girls her age worry about boys or what to wear, but Isolde has bigger problems. Ever since Isolde's brother died, her mother spends her days ranting about magic. Now Isolde's been forced to leave her beloved swim team, to hide the burns her deranged mother inflicted. When her mother humiliates her in front of the whole school, Isolde takes refuge in the sea. Its green depths have called to her all her life. But when a storm rolls in, it brings lost memories crashing in. Maybe Mom's paranoid ramblings weren't so crazy after all. Trapped on a ship with Lir, a disturbingly handsome witch, she must confront the nightmare of her own past--and decide who she really trusts, before she's lost at sea forever.
