02 A haunting tale of love, music, and magic on the stormy coast of Scotland.

After the loss of his wife, Scottish fiddle player Richard Brennan moves to Australia to escape the ghosts of his former life. Six years later, he returns for his father's funeral and decides to remain in his father's desolate cottage in the north of Scotland, gathering together the threads of his former life, scratching out a living playing music.

Then Richard meets Ailish, the enigmatic young woman who's ethereal singing haunts the bay by moonlight.

As their relationship builds, the secrets of his family's past are brought to light, one by one, leaving them to confront a history that is both terrifying and fantastic-a legacy that may well cost Richard his soul.

Industry Reviews

"Fluently and passionately wrought. Fans of Charles de Lint, and others who relish the music/folklore combination, should be delighted with this debut fantasy."--"Kirkus Reviews" "By turns tender and tormented, this haunting, lyric Celtic rhapsody on the ancient theme of Selkies makes a bewitching debut novel. Definitely a writer to watch, Brandon has a vivid, original voice, full of poignant longing and haunting echoes."--"Publishers Weekly" "Paul Brandon is one of my favorite new writers. His writing is filled with a deep sense of place and character, and subtle insights into why people do the things that they do. When he writes of the coast, a storm, a music session, or an intimate conversation, you can smell the salt, feel the rain, hear the fiddles, and be aware of every nuance of body movement and dialogue."--Charles de Lint
