About this listen

It's hard to do the unexpected when you come from a family of seers.

Sibyl’s family are descended from the same bloodlines that provided the oracles in Greece. She’s even inherited the name to go with the talent. But she's just failed her prophecy exams. Worse than that, her dog has disappeared and none of her far-seeing family can find him. When her aunt prophecies that her dog has gone where he's needed most, Sibyl decides she's had enough of the seer lifestyle.

Setting off to seek her fortune without the benefit of predictions, she takes the first bus that comes along to her small rural hometown, hoping to make herself less visible to her family by doing unpredictable things.

On the journey, she'll be lucky if she avoids being bored to death by her fellow passengers, being eaten to death by dragons or dying a metaphorical death by bad poetry. And that’s not counting the terrifying driving on dangerous roads. Her travel companions include wizards, djinns, witches and werewolves. While each of them possesses potent abilities, some of them might hold the key to an unseen future. She has important decisions to make along the way too. For example, should she choose ginger slice or custard square from the bakery where the bus stops?

Sibyl is someone who tends to think first and act afterwards, if at all, but when she spots an elemental incursion while gazing out the bus window, she will have to do more than just think. Can she save a small corner of the world without the help of an oracle?

Seers and Salt is the first book in a cosy and fun new urban fantasy series set in a magical version of Aotearoa New Zealand.
