520    A modern reimagining of Shakespeare's King Lear by debut 
       literary novelist Drew Krepp. ¡ Henry O'Reilly, the 
       founder and head of a seafood empire nearing the end of 
       ¡his career, makes sudden preparations to divide his 
       empire among his three sons and entrust to them not only 
       the family business, but the future of their North 
       Carolina town. ¡ The youngest of the three, Patrick, 
       remains at odds with his family's ¡decadence and avarice, 
       and declines to become involved. As the two older men 
       conspire to force Henry into early retirement and take 
       over the company ¡completely, the brothers' lust for power
       leads to turbulent and terrifying ¡battles with Patrick 
       unwillingly thrust into the very eye of the storm. ¡ As 
       greed, cowardice, and petty spite threaten to destroy 
       those around him, Patrick ¡proves himself no match for the
       scheming of others. If he is to survive the ¡maelstrom 
       wrought by his bickering, dangerous kin, he must find his 
       strength ¡within. ¡ Caught between the spiraling pulls of 
       business intrigue ¡and the deadly force of a hurricane 
       sweeping up the Carolinas, the events of ¡The Salt Marsh 
       King will alter the shape of a barrier island, the destiny
       of a powerful family, and the fate of the town that relies
       on their ¡business. ¡ Fast on the heels of his 2013 award-
       winning short story "The Brackish," Drew Krepp's debut 
       novel The Salt Marsh King heralds the full arrival of a 
       talented author whose voice is fresh, intelligent, and 
       powerful.
