  Summary

  Robert had been listening to the Sea ever since he was old enough to learn from the Book of the Deep. Unfortunately, that privilege had set a target on his back—literally. Stranded on unfamiliar shores, he ekes out a living as a night fisherman; but after several people worm their way into his life, it seems home may really be where the heart is.
