The Salt Grows Heavy is a clever and captivating fable about realizing one's own darkness as well as the darkness in the world, written by USA Today bestselling author Cassandra Khaw.
You might believe that you already know how the fairytale ends—a mermaid visits the shore and marries the prince. However, the legends overlook the fact that mermaids are able to eat. Her daughters have since burned the kingdom to the ground and consumed it.
The mermaid is joined on the run by an enigmatic plague doctor who has their own wicked side. The three'saints' who govern the town of ageless children who are bloodthirsty are discovered by the two deep within the strange, snow-crusted forest.
If the mermaid and her doctor are to live, they have to accept the most vicious aspects of who they really are.
