When the grumpy captain of a fishing boat rescues a dying seal from the sea, she never expects the creature to shift into a handsome selkie prince who immediately proposes marriage.
Lainey stopped believing in the benevolence of the starry host when she was very young, preferring to trust in her skills rather than stardust and magic. She’s as good a sailor as any, and she can shoot her pistol and throw her dagger as well as any man in her village. Her life is almost perfect… well, except for her missing cat… and her tantrums, which have been worsening of late.
Arrendale has waited years for this moment, when at long last he can gaze upon his fiancée, promising her not only his protection but his undying love. Imagine his surprise when his beloved has no notion they’ve been betrothed since she was an infant… and even worse, she attempts to toss him overboard.
How can the crown prince of an undersea kingdom convince this grouchy girl his intentions are entirely honorable—and both their lives are forfeit if she doesn’t accept his blasted furry hide and his kiss!
Girl of Sea and Starlight is a clean, gender-flipped reimagining of The Fisherman and the Selkie, with romance, battles, pirates, elves, and trolls. Fans of The Princess Bride, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Chronicles of Narnia will love this epic, adventurous, humorous, and inspirational tale of selkie love, human grit, and answered prayers.
