    They say selkies shed their skins to walk on land. They also say a man who takes that skin can keep her- for a while. Told as a fireside tale by an old fisherman to his grandchild, this is the story of a distant island revealed at low tide, a selkie who lingered too long on shore, and a love built on something hidden in the rafters. A quiet selkie folktale about love, loss, and the sea's long memory.

Marketta is determined to solve the mystery. *Please note that replica (mirror) Wattpad apps/sites are becoming more common.
