Scotland, 1906. A mysterious object discovered inside an
ancient castle calls Maximilian Haywood, the new Duke of
Olympia, and his fellow researcher Emmeline Truelove,
north to the remote Orkney Islands. No stranger to the
study of anachronisms in archeological digs, Haywood is
nevertheless puzzled by the artifact: a suit of clothing,
which, according to family legend, once belonged to a
selkie who rose from the sea in ancient times and married
the castleβs first laird.
But Haywood and Truelove soon discover theyβre not the
only ones interested in the selkieβs strange hide, and
when their mutual friend Lord Silverton vanishes in the
night from an Edinburgh street, the mystery takes a
dangerous turn through time, which only Haywoodβs skills
and Trueloveβs bravery can solveβ¦
