Legend of the Selkie

When a freak storm sinks the trawler her husband is working on, Gráinne’s life is torn apart. Alone and newly pregnant, she seeks a way to start over, and discovers that the legacy she’s inherited is far stranger, and more powerful, than she ever imagined.

Set on the wild and beautiful West Cork coast, this sweeping, emotional story captures the strength of one woman forced to navigate love, loss, and the pull of old traditions. As an outsider in a close-knit fishing community, Gráinne sees the world differently—and when the past begins to surface, it will change her future forever.

Rich in atmosphere and deeply human, this is a story of resilience, belonging, and the quiet magic that lingers in the Irish landscape.

This novel inspired the author’s bestselling dual-timeline women’s fiction series with Bookouture—a haunting, heartfelt tale for readers who love stories of courage, secrets, and second chances.
