Summary

Along the mist-shrouded coastlines of Scotland and Ireland, where ancient cliffs meet churning seas and the boundary between land and ocean dissolves in salt spray and seafoam, fishermen tell tales of creatures more beautiful and terrible than any siren's song—beings that emerge from the depths wearing sealskin like armor, their eyes holding the cold depths of the abyss and their touch carrying the irresistible pull of tides that never stop calling the living back to the sea's eternal embrace.

The coat grew heavier in her arms, or perhaps her resolve grew weaker.

She pressed it to her chest and felt a heartbeat that wasn't her own. Steady, deep, ancient.
