The Selkie's Wrath

あらすじ
"To steal their skin is to steal a soul." On a storm-lashed northern coast, the village of Duncarrow survives by the mercy of the sea. But mercy can turn to vengeance. Long ago, a fisherman stole the skin of a selkie, binding her in a loveless life upon the shore. From that theft was born a curse, one that does not fade with the years but waits, patient as the tide, to claim its debt. When strange storms return and children whisper of seals watching from the rocks, Willa, a girl marked by the sea, begins to hear voices beneath the waves. As villagers starve, vanish, or drown, suspicion falls upon her curse-bearer, sea-bride, and child of wrath. But the sea has chosen her for more than a witness. The selkies return with a demand that cannot be refused: the bloodline of the thief must fall, and with it, all who profited from his sin. The Selkie's Wrath is a haunting tale of Celtic folklore reborn in the horror of grief that drowns generations, of love twisted into possession, and of the sea that never forgives what was stolen from it. The waves are rising. And they have come to collect.
