Kiera knows two worlds: in the water, she’s a selkie, a half-human, half-seal creature that most believe only exists in ancient mythology. On land, she masquerades as a teenage girl, going to classes with her best friend, Blair, and keeping her precious seal-pelt hidden from the prying eyes of curious humans.
But when she witnesses the murder of a selkie from her clan, at the hands of a prominent local family, her two worlds come colliding together, as harshly and suddenly as the waves crash on the rocks at night.
After the murder, Kiera is drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy, one that could bring the slowly brewing conflict between a vengeful human family and the selkies to the brink of disaster. As she delves deeper for the truth, she is brought closer to Ronan, a young man who has devoted his life to protecting creatures like Kiera, and she discovers the secrets of the worlds she thought she knew.
If she wants to protect her clan from total annihilation, Kiera must confront her own identity and humanity, and face her reluctance to trust Ronan. But most importantly, she needs to figure how just how far she will go to defend what she loves.
