The water at Limehouse was level with the Thames only at high water. At low tide, the river was lower than the basin, and with the locks open, water would fall out of the basin into the river. For their plan to work, the locks had to be open and the dead had to be drawn into the basin.

Kaden inquired, looking up at her. “The tide-hold is where they keep captives they don’t want to kill yet. It’s underground but built into the cliff face, and part of it floods at high tide. If we wait until the tide pulls back, we can slip in before it fills again,” “That gives us… maybe forty minutes before the water rises,” “Thirty-five if the moon pulls hard tonight,” She cocked her head. Kaden smirked a bit, despite the tension, “You always have to make it sound worse, don’t you?”

“Miss Thompson, you’d better watch your tongue. “I promised you to put the people down. Did I go back on my words? “Didn’t I put them down now? “But I didn’t promise to let them go immediately, right? “Actually, you should know very well.

From the direction of the current it felt like the tide was likely going in. This was going to be to my advantage. When our parents had taken us on holiday, they’d taught us how the tides work. Jack of course had been too young, but I remembered my dad telling me how the tide coming in carried items with it. If I let go, there was every chance I would simply arrive on the shore.

As the tide rose to its peak, it slowly receded. Jaclyn Dills held me, sitting on a rock by the sea, with a large towel wrapped around me, but inside it was empty. After the passion subsided, I leaned tiredly against him, my cheeks flushed, like the sky gradually tinged with color in the distance. "Luna, look."

"Nice to see you too!" "Shut up, Troy. You useless—" His words were drowned out by the sound of the waves crashing over a large rock as we passed by. High tide. I turned my head to look over at the Persephone. Its masts were mended, and people were climbing the rat lines to help hoist the sails back into place. "She's fine.

Fishing docks were left stranded at odd angles, boats rocking against ropes that should have been slack. Wells near the coast turned brackish overnight.
