The Saltwater Curse Book PDF Free

“I need water, Ordus,” I whisper. He motions to the sea. “The?—“ “Water,” I repeat. “Drinking water. Human water. Fucking mineral water. Aqua. Air,” I say in Indonesian, in case that registers in his thick skull. “And I need to wash and cook the fish.” No one ever fucking listens to me. It’s like I’m…

Cindi stumbles away from me and carefully turns on the heel of her foot to survey her surroundings. I hold no pride over this island. It is both a source of shame and a place for a coward to seek comfort, a prison of riches and freedom. Cliffs taller than the human buildings on the…

There. It is a good compromise. Although Vasz may not agree, I will bribe him with coconuts. Cindi blinks. Once. Twice.

Hunger pains stab at my stomach. My throat is raw from crying, the heat, dehydration, and many mouthfuls of saltwater.
