In Earth’s near future, seas swallow cities and mutant fish stalk waters ruled by pirates. Skipper, the youngest of three sisters, survives by scavenging plastic from the ocean to care for her grandmother. But when her eldest sister Nora vanishes after chasing a cure for the world’s dying crops, everything changes.
With only a cryptic message to guide them, Skipper and her remaining sister, Carmen, set sail to find Nora. Their journey spans oceans and continents, through a world both ravaged and hauntingly beautiful. Along the way, they uncover Nora’s research, and the corporations desperate to claim it.
Yume Kitasei’s Saltcrop is a sweeping eco-thriller, a tale of survival and sisterhood in a fragile world where hope may be the rarest resource of all.
