Cassie, a fourteen-year-old girl raised on the San Francisco Bay, runs away, stealing a boat and embarking in search of her father. She draws upon half-remembered songs, rhymes, and knot lore learned as a child to help her navigate the bay's currents and tides, and to slip out of dangerous situations. She must outwit devious Mole, escape from the Sisters who would keep her bound to mend the sails that keep the bay turning, and survive a wild storm before she finds him. When she does, she is charmed and swept up in his magic as of old. But he will betray and disappoint her. In uncovering the emptiness at the heart of his legacy, Cassie unlocks her true birthright.
