Much of the novel takes place in the marsh near the town of Barkley Cove, where Kya lives alone in a shack, as her family members abandoned her there when she was young. She is self-reliant and mostly lives on nourishment taken from the marsh. Other than occasional visits from romantic interests, Kya is isolated within the marsh. She is ridiculed and persecuted by the townspeople, who seem to view her as strange, feral, and even subhuman, but these sentiments subside following Kya’s trial, and Kya lives the rest of her days in the marsh with Tate.
