Seers & Salt
ByPublisher Description
It's hard to do the unexpected when you come from a family of seers.
Sibyl's family are descended from the same bloodlines that provided the oracles in Greece. She's even inherited the name to go with the talent. But she's just failed her prophecy exams. Worse than that, her dog has disappeared and none of her far-seeing family can find him. When her aunt prophecies that her dog has gone where he's needed most, Sibyl decides she's had enough of the seer lifestyle.
Setting off to seek her fortune without the benefit of predictions, she'll be lucky if she avoids being bored to death by her fellow passengers, being eaten to death by dragons or dying a metaphorical death by bad poetry. And that's not counting the terrifying driving on dangerous roads.
Sibyl is someone who tends to think first and act afterwards, if at all, but when she spots an elemental incursion while gazing out the bus window, she will have to do more than just think. Can she save a small corner of the world without the help of an oracle?
Seers and Salt is the first book in a cosy and fun new urban fantasy series set in a magical version of Aotearoa New Zealand.

About Melissa Gunn
Melissa Gunn spent several years pursuing a science career before deciding it would be more fun to write fiction – though it turns out that there is even more research involved. She enjoys combining facts that seem fantastical with actual fantasy, and creating quirky characters with a sense of humour. When she’s not trying to figure out how a volcano demigod would problem-solve, she is feeding her backyard menagerie, chasing chickens out of the garden, or taking photographs of whatever will stand still for long enough (so mostly plants).
