The Song of Salt and Shadow is an atmospheric siren–pirate romantasy about lost identity, treacherous seas, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension. A siren born without a tail. A song meant to drown pirates. A pirate ready to drown for her. Hunted for her blood and the scales that grant humans magic they should never wield, Eryse flees the hunters and climbs aboard a vast black ship. The crew is cursed, and when night falls, ghostly shadows roam the deck. Some would sell her before dawn. Others would keep her. The captain does neither, and he does not let her go. Caught between a curse that tightens its grip and a sea that never forgives, Eryse cannot live in water and cannot live without it. To reclaim what she has lost, she is forced to confront her own voice and follow a path that leads straight through a pirate who may be just as dangerous as the sea itself.

From the Man Booker-nominated author of The Water Cure comes an elegant and hypnotic new novel of obsession that centers on the real unsolved mystery of the 1951 mass poisoning of a French village. Still reeling in the aftermath of the deadliest war the world had ever seen, the small town of Pont-Saint-Esprit collectively lost its mind. Some historians believe the mysterious illness and violent hallucinations were caused by spoiled bread; others claim it was the result of covert government testing on the local population. In that town lived a woman named Elodie. She was the baker’s wife: a plain, unremarkable person who yearned to transcend her dull existence. So when a charismatic new couple arrived in town, the forceful ambassador and his sharp-toothed wife, Violet, Elodie was quickly drawn into their orbit. Thus began a dangerous game of cat and mouse – but who was the predator and on whom did they prey? Audacious and mesmerising, Cursed Bread is a fevered confession, an entry into memory’s hall of mirrors, and an erotic fable of transformation. Sophie Mackintosh spins a darkly gleaming tale of a town gripped by hysteria, envy like poison in the blood, and desire that burns and consumes.
