Follow the misadventures of a war-orphan on the coast of the Shetland Islands as she transforms from a nobody to an impossible, mythical Legend. Everything starts when she rescues a mysterious boy from a watery grave. But will the grave become her own as Fate twists their stories together? 
 The boy himself is an age-old, Selky Prince of a dying, shadowy realm to which he must bring a human bride. Will sacrifice and betrayal save the girl's family, the Islanders, and the sea-folk from deep evil? Will this ancient curse protect everyone from lurking threats, and ocean tides that run red with the blood of the innocent? Unravel a story of deep deception, unbelievable legend, dangerous love, and imminent death balancing on a knife's edge. However, Readers be warned. Toying with magic should not be taken lightly. Within itself, magic holds the most enchanting of beauties but also the most dangerous of deceptions. Those who tamper with it very rarely survive. Read carefully a story from which you might never escape from...
