If you’re finding yourself as enchanted by Salt & Storm by Kendall Kulper as I was, then you’ll be eager to know if there are more books to come in this world.
First things first: Salt & Storm is a standalone novel.
BUT … Kulper has announced that she is working on a prequel! She shares:
It will be set roughly 18 years before the events of SALT & STORM and will include some familiar faces and settings (as well as new characters I hope you’ll love as much as I do).
In her Q&A with us earlier this month, Kulper also talked more about her
decision to write a prequel and NOT a sequel:
I have to give the credit to my editor, Bethany Strout, for suggesting writing another book in this world. I don’t think there will ever be a sequel—I always knew that Avery’s story would begin and end with SALT & STORM—but I had been kicking around a couple of ideas for a prequel, focusing on some of the other Roe witches. Writing SALT & STORM, I had to come up with a lot of backstory that ended up not being used in the book, so this was a great opportunity to delve into some of that.
The prequel was also a chance to see this world beyond just the island where SALT & STORM takes place. Avery mentions other magical people out in the world, and with the prequel, I’m able to show more of those people and how the rest of the world treats them.
No release date has been announced yet for the prequel, but we will certainly be waiting eagerly!

That sounds fantastic! Prequels novels are awesome. Like Fire, by Kristin Cashore 🙂
