'When Selkie Moon reclaims the name her mother gave her, she unwittingly triggers a series of events so bizarre, she’s forced to delve into the murky depths of the past and face the shocking truth about herself.

'Selkie Moon was named after a fairy tale – one of her dead mother’s extraordinary ideas. The selkies are the seal people of Celtic folklore who peel off their skins and dance in the moonlight on human legs. Ironic, since Selkie almost drowned as a toddler and has been afraid of the sea ever since. A fact her step-mother rubs in on a regular basis.

'Now Selkie has run away – from her life in Sydney, from too much control and not enough love – to start over again in Hawaii. Suddenly she’s all alone in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Without a life raft.

'Soon her refuge begins to unravel and she's running from something else entirely. Someone is trying to kill her. No tangible evidence, just a voice in her head – not that she’s psychic, no way. But the messages multiply and the threats escalate until she’s locked in a game of cat-and-mouse with a mysterious stalker. As a sleuth Selkie’s an amateur and her first instinct is to keep running. But is she running from her past? Or her future?'
