As a teenager, Beth Caxton nearly drowned while swimming in Grey Gallows Bay. Her rescue was rather mysterious, for she was seen being resuscitated by a naked man who quickly disappeared. Now, 10 years later, she is again drawn to Grey Gallows Bay where she meets an unusual man named Gordon. When Gordon tells Beth of his true identity, that of the selkie--a mythical half seal/half man creature--who saved her life a decade ago, and when he professes his undying love, and tells her that he has waited these 10 years for her return, Beth has a difficult time believing him, despite the nagging sense of familiarity in Gordon's eyes. When Gordon's life and that of the other seals in the bay is threatened, it is up to Beth to help prevent sure disaster. Readers searching for something out of the ordinary need look no further than Sea Spell. This book, the first in Berkley/Jove's new Magical Love line, is the stuff dreams are made of. A compelling read, Sea Spell is a sure fire hit from the talented Tess Farraday. --Maudeen Wachsmith
