I’m a selkie, trapped above the waves until I can recover my skin. Humans used to call us seal-wives many years ago - before they broke the planet. I thought that fewer humans, after the warming, would mean less danger. My kind believed our world was finally recovering. We were wrong. Up here, the magic is fading and Old Ones like me are being traded as trophies for rich and powerful humans to display in collections. Without the Old Ones, the magic fades; without magic, the planet dies. Humankind has gone too far, and someone has to put a stop to it.

The High King now wages open war in the east, and the stirrings can be felt even where Mag and Albern wander. The weremage Kaita continues to elude them, and their hunt has stagnated—until war finds them at last, and they are forced to choose a side.

Not that it mattered. With only death to look forward to, I found no amusement in the cruel joke until an unexpected visitor changed everything.
