Foam of the Sea

Amid the bitter war between the North and the South, Margaret—a northerner—clings desperately to her love for Squall, a southerner. But he repays her devotion with merciless cruelty, shoving her from a cliff into the churning sea. As the waters close over her, a mysterious witch’s voice promises a second life—though not until seven years have passed. When Margaret finally rises from the ocean, she wears a stranger’s body and has lost her voice entirely. She finds a reluctant ally in Jack, a local apothecary, yet the other villagers of the South are far less willing to welcome an outsider into their midst.
