From publisher blurb:
A mysterious and rare kith, the Selkies are only found along the coasts and near big water. Dependent on the sea, they can somehow draw Glamour from it. They are equally dependent on their coats; which are necessary for a Selkie to experience Chrysalis. But from these coats they gain all manner of powers, including the ability to shift into seal form.
Odd, to be sure. Even for the changelings.
But what if the Selkies weren't actually changelings? Not to start with, at least. What if, back in the mists of ancient time, Gaia created the sealfolk as her ambassadors? Fleeing the War of Rage, Fera became fae, and act out of a heritage they now only grasp at.
This book posits an alternate interpretation of the Selkies, in which the kith must straddle several different worlds to find their true place.
