Dark Tide
Once a lost and confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin Resistance (BFR). While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own. Ling is in the hold of Rafe Mfeme's giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. Becca meets up with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is hiding a shameful secret. Ava can't return home, because death riders await her arrival. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina's betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. If Lucia's parents become suspicious, his life--and all of Sera's hopes--will be extinguished.

What Hacker News says
- For a more in-depth look at the disaster and the social circumstances in the North End that led to the attempted scapegoating of Italian immigrant anarchists, I recommend Dark Tide:
- Pretty insane. “Dark Tide” is a great read on the subject. There’s a playground on the site now- the area it describes is compact and walkable (as is much of Boston to be fair).
- For those interested in this unusual event, the book Dark Tide: The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 chronicles the run-up to the disaster and the enormous court case which followed, in which USIA attempted to blame Italian anarchists for the tank's destruction.
The book also suggests that the behaviour of warm molasses was a likely factor, notably the effect of combining it with the cold molasses already in the tank. So this new research fits perfectly.
