Goodreads Synopsis:
Caroline Oresteia is destined for the river. For generations, her family has been called by the river god, who has guided their wherries on countless voyages throughout the Riverlands. At seventeen, Caro has spent years listening to the water, ready to meet her fate. But the river god hasn’t spoken her name yet—and if he hasn’t by now, there’s a chance he never will.The Oresteia family has spent generations on the river, hearing the voice of the river god. Caro thought she would be next in line after her father, but has not yet heard the god's voice. But now Caro is tasked to deliver a mysterious box, and becomes embroiled in the politics and deceit of several nations. Without her father and without her river god, Caro must battle the waters alone.
Caro decides to take her future into her own hands when her father is arrested for refusing to transport a mysterious crate. By agreeing to deliver it in exchange for his release, Caro finds herself caught in a web of politics and lies, with dangerous pirates after the cargo—an arrogant courier with a secret—and without the river god to help her. With so much at stake, Caro must choose between the life she always wanted and the one she never could have imagined for herself.
