Her mother vanished into the sea. The villagers said she belonged to it.
Orkney Islands, 1695.
Malie has spent her life haunted by the story of her mother's disappearance. According to local legend, she was one of the seal-folk—mythical women who shed their skins to live among humans before answering the sea's irresistible call.
Now married and expecting her first child, Malie is determined to live the safe, predictable life expected of her. But beneath the surface, a restless longing stirs. Drawn to the wild waters surrounding her island home, she begins to question everything she has been taught about duty, freedom, and the woman she is meant to be.
As the grip of a harsh and unforgiving world tightens around her, Malie finds herself pulled towards the mystery of her mother's fate—and the untamed wildness within herself.
Rich in Scottish folklore, history, and atmosphere, The Woman in the Seal Skin is a haunting tale of grief, motherhood, resilience, and the enduring power of the sea.
