Have you ever had a secret so deep, even you didn’t know it?
Aveny has.
The “Selkie Story” series follows Aveny’s journey as she unearths this secret, beginning with the discovery of a mysterious sealskin in her grandmother’s attic.
A series of strange (and nearly fatal) occurrences leave Aveny grappling with questions. Is this unexpected item more than it seems? Could it actually be a mythological Selkie skin from her long-forgotten Celtic heritage? Or, is her family’s long history of insanity finally resurfacing?
As she navigates this perilous reality, Aveny must discover her true identity, heal the cataclysmic rift in her ancestral past, and forge a new path for her increasingly unique family.
Celtic Legend Reimagined
Selkie folklore dates back to ancient Ireland and Scotland, with tales of sealfolk who possess the ability to shed their seal skins and assume human form.
Set in the iconic waters and lands of Western Washington, the “Selkie Story” series is a modern-day reimaginging of ancient Celtic myths, which (like many of us) have migrated across the ocean to new lands – replete with new possibilities.
The old Celtic legends are just myths, right? Maybe, maybe not. After all, within every folktale is an element of truth.
