Unaware of the taint of her selkie blood, Ceala Mullan is rejected by the priest from the Choosing – the only road for this eighteen year old to escape her abusive father. She must re-imagine another life for herself beyond an arranged marriage in her 16^th century Irish fishing village. A chance meeting with Teague Barden, an outsider and poet, reveals that love can be found in the most unlikely of hearts.

Ceala discovers the murder of her selkie mother at the hands of her father and is, in turn, drowned by him. Existing now as a human consciousness trapped in a skeletal corpse, Ceala wakes to haunt Selkie Bay as the Cailleach, Sea Hag, who seeks revenge on the people who looked the other way. This revenge tragedy is recast when the power of Ceala’s love for Teague enables her to throw off her ghoul state, re-enter humanity and bring justice to all those who had wronged her.
