"What I really love about this book is how it immerses you in a richly atmospheric world, with the haunting beauty of the Scottish Highlands and the mysterious pull of selkie folklore at its core."

– Vincenzo (Amazon review)

I found myself completely immersed in the world of Morwenna and the depths of Selkie folklore. The way the author describes the power of the ocean and the magic latent on every page is mesmerizing.

And then there's the story. Grabbed me by the lapels and pulled me to the finish line.

– Mo Greene (Amazon Review)

From the moment Morwenna hears the ocean's relentless call to the moment the Highlands wrap her in mist and mystery, your story exudes a lyrical magic that pulls readers beneath the waves.

The blend of Celtic myth and magical realism is something we don’t see done this well often, and it stuck with me.
