    Summary

    “Was there water?” Ambrose asks.
    “It is the desert, Ambrose” Paddy says gently and he is supposed to be the mad one, the one who has to be gentled down from delusion and insanity like a child, not Ambrose, never Ambrose “There was no water around for miles”
    Of all the things to be asking after…
    “It rained” Paddy says at last, “Monsoon rain, biblical, washed away the landscape entire. By the time I had a mind to go and look for him again everything had changed and there was no way to find him. I did look. I did look for him. I swear it”
    Paddy looks up to find Ambrose smiling a private smile and nodding like he’s hearing voices Paddy can not.
    "Rain might just be enough" Ambrose says, seeming pleased with the answer "Rain and the saltwater of tears”

    Or: Eoin comes back.

    Summary

    Her life had always been the sea.

    The depths of tide unwavering as she swam through unending stretches of salt, reef, sand and to her ever-growing curiosity—wreckage.

    She and her sisters would explore whatever they could find—caverns, chests, barrels, and if they were lucky; long abandoned hulls of vessels. Grand warships, leisurely rowing boats, or even simple rafts; it was an evolving fascination.

    Ships, fleets, marines, chartered courses, crew—what did it all mean?
    The mermaid did not find her answer, until the tide turned. And with it—her fate.

    Summary

    Verso wasn't sure what he was expecting, but it wasn't this. A man.

    The man at the door was naked head to toe save for a circlet of pearls that adorned his hair and others that gracefully draped across his body. A long fishnet veil covered his face and trailed out the door in mockery of a true bride. Despite the storm the man remained completely dry. There was only mud and sand caked on his feet, as if he'd been walking along the shore for a long time.

    Lightning flashed again. Illuminating his brown hair, and deep warm brown eyes filled only with fury.

    Summary

    Ferrying passengers and cargo between the mainland and the outlying islands is your family's livelihood. Life at sea holds its surprises, yet the routines remain reassuring — docking and departing, tourist antics, more docking and departing...

    And there's the seal of course — the local celebrity trailing the ferry each day as though he's on the payroll. You think it might have been brought about by giving into his every whim and accidentally becoming his favorite person to be around in the process. But who would’ve guessed the truth, that he's actually a selkie who's spent years shadowing you, believing himself to be escorting his chosen bride all along?

    ***

    Maybe it was just Mr. Kruger’s bad luck to work and live in a place that only fueled his already bad reputation.

    He grew up hearing all sorts of stories about inexplicable and mysterious things happening at the lighthouse, like people going missing, previous keepers going mad the longer they stayed there, even tales of murder and suicide.
