All Aran has even known is the sea. The spray of the waves. The swirl of the deep currents. Feasts of salmon and mussels and crabs. Aran is a selkie and lives on the open sea with his clan. But he has never quite belonged. He was born without a selkie skin, and he's never quite belonged. He was born without a slkie skin, and he's stuck in human form, never able to transform into a sleek, powerful seal the way his family does. Then Aran discovers that his clan has been keeping a secret from him. And the secret means that Aran may never get his pelt. That he is a danger to the entire clan. That maybe he doesn't even belong to the sea at all. So Aran gets his first tast of life on land and all the wonders it holds: trees and birds' nests and cookies and, most surprising of all, friends. Yet the land is dangerous too. When the unimaginable happends, Aran will be forced to choose: Will he fight for his place on land, or lisen to the call of the sea?
