The Visit of the Selkie

"I am no sinner. I am no witch. I am nothing."Rumors abound about Berenice's ancestors, though she wishes only for a peaceful life. That would be possible, if it weren't for these black dogs that haunt her. Only she can see them. Is she losing her mind?This stalking, though, is only the first of her problems. Her world turns upside down with the return of Iszak, the boy who abandoned her six years ago to "go back to his water kingdom." He's not the only unexpected visitor --there's also Beatrix, a traveller with a suspicious interest in the local folklore and in Berenice's private life.Who can she trust? Are Iszak's intentions honest, or is his visit somehow related to the book that Berenice's family has been guarding for generations, supposedly full of spells long-lost to the merpeople?In the middle of this chaos, Berenice knows that retaking control of her life will come at a high cost --a price that shall be paid in blood.
