About the Book

Some secrets refuse to stay buried-especially when the ocean itself seems to be keeping them.

When Morwenna Willowheart Brightwood receives a mysterious letter shimmering with an otherworldly pull, her carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She’s content in her weathered lighthouse home on the Maine coast, weaving stories for others and tending her wind-battered garden. But this letter isn’t just a piece of paper-it’s a summons. One that carries her across the sea to the mist-shrouded Scottish Highlands, where ancient legends breathe, magic hums just beneath the surface, and family secrets refuse to stay silent.

Thrown into a world she barely understands, Morwenna is forced to confront the legacy she’s unknowingly inherited-a tangled web of selkie folklore, forgotten power, and a curse that stretches back generations. With her fiercely protective sister Ava by her side and the guidance of mysterious allies with motives as murky as the sea itself, Morwenna must navigate a path filled with danger, deception, and choices she’s not ready to make.

But legends don’t care about readiness. They don’t care about fear. And the tide waits for no one.

Whispers of the Selkie is a story where urban fantasy collides with mystical realism, set against the haunting beauty of the Scottish coastline. Rich with contemporary fantasy flair, it’s a tale of family loyalty, reluctant destiny, and the pull of magic that refuses to let go.

Perfect for fans of Karen Moning, Deborah Harkness, and readers who crave sharp-witted heroines, atmospheric worlds, and secrets wrapped in salt and shadow.

About The Author

Lisa A. Moore

Lisa Moore juggles more storylines than her pilot husband does flight schedules. Specializing in urban fantasy and psychological thrillers, she occasionally dabbles in gothic and paranormal for a fun plot twist. A master of multitasking, she keeps several stories brewing at once—one as her main obsession and the others as creative pit stops when her imagination needs a stretch. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her chasing after her energetic dog, Violette, or splashing vibrant watercolors, adding a little color to the chaos.
