Far north in the Atlantic Ocean, where islands are small, rocky, and infested with sheep and humans, live the Selkiesâa race of seal/human shapeshifters of unearthly beauty.
The five short stories in Ara's Prelude recount the early lives of characters from the novel ARAâs SONG. Youâll meet Princess Ara as a seal pup and young Seamus defending his dreams of becoming a fisherman. Seamusâs folks struggle to protect him from those vicious Selkies, while Araâs father warns of dangerous humans like that boy she finds so fascinating. And then thereâs Oluva, the psychic shopkeeper who knows more about Selkies than she lets on.
Chronologically, these are the first events in THE SELKIE CHRONICLES, but each book stands alone.
Selkies are beguiling and real. Come see for yourself.
