Flowers for the Sea is a dark, dazzling debut novella that reads like Rosemary's Baby by way of Octavia E. Butler
We are a people who do not forget.
Survivors from a flooded kingdom struggle alone on an ark. Resources are scant, and ravenous beasts circle. Their fangs are sharp.
Among the refugees is Iraxi: ostracized, despised, and a commoner who refused a prince, she's pregnant with a child that might be more than human. Her fate may be darker and more powerful than she can imagine.
Zin E. Rocklyn's extraordinary debut is a lush, gothic fantasy about the prices we pay and the vengeance we seek.

      Flowers for the Sea is about a desperate attempt to keep a people alive. The land is dying, and the inhabitants of the world are barely surviving on a boat with dwindling rations. Iraxi, an outcast, is pregnant with a child who might not live past infancy. Does she even want her baby, or is it yet another burden she will be saddled with? What will happen when she finally gives birth? Will Iraxi save the world--or destroy it? This debut novella combines the physical anxiety of pregnancy with dystopian desperation and urgency. It feels like a taste of a much larger world that has a long and awful history. Iraxi is an irascible yet sympathetic narrator, caught up in a struggle much bigger than herself and moving with forces that she may not understand. Her rage and search for vengeance propel the plot. This novella will whet the appetite of fans of classics like Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby, P. D. James' The Children of Men, and Octavia Butler's "Bloodchild."
