Brushing dust from her hair, Emer aimed her gun and fired. As she watched him fall, she felt a burning in her back and stumbled for a second-long enough to see that the Frenchman, covered in stray pieces of the strange dust his first mate had thrown at her-had not been all dead. She took her dying breath halfway between her lover and her killer, covered in the dust of one hundred dogs, knowing she was the only person on the planet who knew what was buried beneath the chilly sand ten yards away.In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with "the dust of 100 dogs," dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body - with her memories intact. Now she's a contemporary American teenager named Saffron and all she needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.
"A non-traditional pirate tale with a dangerously raw, mystical edge and a unique modern twist. Deliciously fresh and starkly unforgettable ... " - Lisa McMann, New York Times bestselling author of Wake
"Exciting, fascinating, spellbinding. I'd follow Saffron into the briny deep." - Heather Brewer, author of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod
