Moon of the Sea
()
About this ebook
Badra and Rida had spent years fishing the moonlit seas together but their relationship was as unstable as their tiny fishing boat adrift in a gale. Badra had done her best for her sister. They had a home. They had work. There was hope for the future.
Rida was not satisfied. All the silent resentment and worry that they had carefully avoided over the years came to a head when their nets pulled up a Moon of the Sea. The rare deadly fish promised wealth beyond their wildest dreams. It threatened to destroy them both at the same time.
Moon of the Sea is a story of family, sisters and finding what matters to you in the midst of dire emergencies.

Moon of the Sea
By Meyari McFarland
No,
Badra whispered. Don't die, Rida. I can't lose you, too.
Badra hauled the anchor up, tossing it into the center of the boat along with the silverlings. They had gone as still as Rida, only an occasional pectoral fin flexing weakly as the fish gasped at air that could never sustain its life. The wind was too still to propel them to shore so Badra shipped the oars and stated paddling.
She put her full weight into each stroke, all but standing as she drove the oars into the water. Badra's arms ached in moments. Her legs burned from the effort. Through it all, Badra kept her eyes on Rida's still body. They'd lost so much over the last few years. There was no way that she would lose Rida as well, even if Rida thought she was an abusive, overbearing fool.

Dedication:
This story is dedicated to Jeremy Wade, of Animal Planet's River Monsters. I'm terrified of the sea, and especially the fish that live in it, yet Jeremy Wade had given me a fascination with the creatures that live in the water while teaching me about the world they inhabit.

Good catch,
Rida grunted as she hauled on the nets.
The moon hung overhead, stained red by the summer fires blazing in the hills. Badra ignored her. Her hands burned from the salt coating the nets sinking
