A Dark and Drowning Tide | Alison Saft

Lorelei Kaskel, a folklorist with a quick temper and an even quicker wit, is on an expedition with six eccentric nobles in search of a mythical spring of untold power. The king wants to harness the fabled water source from which magic flows to secure his reign, and Lorelei is determined to prove herself.

It’s a small cost to make her dream come true: to become a naturalist, able to travel freely to faraway lands. The expedition gets off to a harrowing start when its leader-Lorelei’s beloved mentor-is murdered in her quarters aboard their ship. The suspects are her five remaining expedition mates.
