The Seal Wife

You know the legend of the selkie, of course. Irishmen have told it for generations: common seals, who shed their skin to become beautiful women. If you steal their skin and hide it, you can take one to wife. But selkies long always for the sea. If you wish to keep her, you must ensure that she never finds her sealskin...Niall, a young fisherman, catches such a creature. She is wild and beautiful, fulfilling all his erotic dreams. Yet she remains somehow animal, distant and impossible to reach. Their passion is as unpredictable as the sea... and as tragic.This story blends Celtic legend with elements of Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Little Mermaid,' in a bold, achingly erotic take on an old fairy tale.
