Description
In 1927, with Prohibition luring Maine lobstermen to smuggle liquor under moonlight, a merciless rumrunner steals a selkie’s child one night from the storm-ravaged rocks. To reclaim her child’s sealskin and return to the sea, Aaelene must place her trust in the unlikeliest of allies: the rumrunner’s apprentice, a young man torn between loyalty and conscience.
A Note From the Publisher
Selkies are mythological seals found in Irish and Scottish folklore who can shapeshift between seal and human forms by removing or putting on their seal skins.
Audience
Please note this is an adult novel (not for middle or high school readers). There are some sexual situations depicted within a heterosexual relationship, violence, and profanity. It's also not high fantasy; or romantasy; it's a slow burn of grounded fantasy with a rural Maine ambiance.
Author
K. Stephens is the author and screenwriter of 'The Ghost Trap," a Maine lobstering novel that was adapted into an award-winning feature film set in Maine in 2024.

Marketing Plan
We have some exciting Sip & Sign events coming up from September through December in Maine (and possibly Boston-TBA) that will combine everyone’s love of wine, beer, or cocktails (after all it is a Prohibition novel) with literary get togethers. Stay tuned to my new website for announcements!
