Winter Tide by Ruthanna Emrys

After survivors of Innsmouth’s purge are released into a suspicious, often hostile human world, one of them returns to find loved ones scattered and targeted by government scientists and authorities. Drawing on ancestral memory and submerged magic, she works to reunite her community, protect their culture, and expose the injustices committed against them, while navigating grief, identity, and the dangerous politics surrounding those who are doubly marginalized. The novel reinvents Lovecraftian elements into a story about family, survival, and the fight for dignity.
