A drama of passion, sea air, and a mysterious sea-woman that tests a London lawyer’s heart.
In a remote West Highland setting, a conveyancing barrister flees to the shores for a quiet holiday that becomes a journey into love, myth, and danger. As he travels to Ard na High, he confronts a strange legend of Morag the Seal and an irresistible attraction that unsettles his orderly life.
Thrown into a world where dreams and reality blur, he faces the pull of Morag—whether a daughter of birth, a gipsy-girl, or a sea-woman—and the choice between reason and longing. This edition follows a tale of longing, transformation, and the cost of following the heart, set against storms, cliffs, and a haunting coastline.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical literary fiction with a touch of gothic romance and myth, set against a vivid seaside backdrop.
