About this book:
The mist-cloaked shores of Isle Ron hide more than grey seals. Dr. Fiona Sinclair has come to this jagged spine of rock for data—vocalization patterns, site fidelity, a paper to save her stalled career. She brought hydrophones, thermal layers, and rigorous skepticism. She didn't bring enough skepticism.
Something pale and impossible watches from the sea cave. Something that moves like a man but vanishes like a seal. Something that sings in frequencies no pinniped can produce. As the colony panics and her equipment captures sounds that defy biology, Fiona's clean lines between science and folklore begin to dissolve. The selkie stories the mainlanders whispered weren't metaphors. They were warnings.
Now the tide is turning. A stolen skin lies hidden in the dark. A choice waits on the cliffs at midnight. And the woman who came to study wild things is about to become the thing the wild studies back.
