Book Synopsis Irish Selkie by : Christina Holloway
Download or read book Irish Selkie written by Christina Holloway and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celtic folklore speaks of a people that are part human/part seal. They are called Selkies; sometimes they come to shore to sunbathe, removing their seal skin and leaving them prey for fisherman to steal and hide. If this happens they have to marry him and have his children. Though many Selkies are happily married they still always seem to feel drawn back to the sea and their seal families, even at the cost of leaving behind ones they love on land. After years of searching many find their hidden skin and return to the sea as a seal staying close, keeping watch over them from the great sea. The children left behind are sometimes called Darkies because of their dark eyes and hair with pale skin from the Selkie bloodline. Most descendants of the Selkie feel a very strong connection with the ocean, the call of its waves, and a kinship with the seal.

They are selkies—seals that shed their skin once a year and become human for a few hours. Overcome by their beauty and magic, Donald kidnaps one—a choice that will determine his future. Now, back home in his close-knit Scottish village, he must take responsibility for what he has done. Donald has been bullied and isolated all his life, but thanks to his mother and his stolen selkie wife, he finds the courage to question, then change the culture of the town that has been mired in the past for generations. Yet despite their mutual happiness, he can never truly forgive himself for the thoughtless act that brought his wife to him. This enchanting story works its way to a surprising yet satisfying ending.

Book excerpt: Journey back in time to Tudor England with a tale of romance, intrigue, and the Celtic legends of the selkies. Will Somers has spent his life alone, thinking himself unlovable. Emma is a selkie; a creature of myth and magic, one of the immortal fae-folk of the sea. When Will finds her sleeping on a beach, he recalls the tales his grandmother told him of selkie maidens taken for wives. He seizes this unexpected chance to have a wife and family of his own and steals her pelt, binding her to him. Only when it is willingly returned will she be free. Emma has never experienced life on land and can barely contain her excitement and curiosity. She has to learn to adapt quickly to human customs, for Will is headed to the glittering, dangerous court of Henry VIII to serve as the king's fool. It's a world where careless words can lead to the scaffold and the smallest gesture is loaded with political implications. Anne Boleyn is charmed by Emma's naivete and soothing selkie magic and wants Emma for her own fool. Anne is soon to become a wife herself, and the Queen of England. But wearing the crown does not ensure her own safety, and at Anne's side, Emma becomes entangled in the dark intrigues of the court, trying to stay afloat in the turbulent seas swept by the storms of the mercurial king. Can Will protect the woman he loves from the dangers that lurk in every shadow? Emma uses her selkie magic to soothe the king's temper, and Will uses his humor, but Henry's moods become increasingly erratic. Theirs is a vocation that provides them some protection, but in Henry VIII's court, no one is safe. Circa regna tonat: Around the throne, the thunder rolls.
