The book also looks at Celtic traditions such as lighting candles on Bealtaine and participating in ancient ceremonies. There's also selkie lore, and one selkie in particular named Muireann reminds me of Disney's Ariel because of her fascination with a human boy (Liam) and her longing to be with him. There are also Cailleach creatures, a mythical Celtic being whom signifies upcoming death to those who see her. The Na Fir Ghorm, for example, delight in luring humans to their watery graves and the Bean Sidhe have the most unearthly wails-which only mortals with murdered family members can hear.
The ancient Bean Sidhe and Na Fir Ghorm are eerie creatures that I'd never want to encounter in real life. There is so much creativity at play in ASHES ON THE WAVES. The Bean Sidhe and the Na Fir Ghorm who live in the water have also taken interest in "the broken one's" relationship with Anna.and their games can be deadly. The only problem? He's cursed, and the villagers will make sure Anna stays away from him. Now she's back, and he has a chance to be her friend. She lives far from Dòchas, and was only visiting her family home as a child. He lives on a small island, Dòchas, without electricity or modern plumbing, and Anna is exotic to him. I really enjoyed the book's atmosphere, the lore, and oh, the fact that it's inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's "Annabel Lee."Īll his life, Liam has been in love with a girl he met in his childhood named Annabell Leighton. Agent: Ammi-Joan Paquette, Erin Murphy Literary Agency.ASHES ON THE WAVES is my new favorite book featuring selkies. However, Liam's antiquated way of speaking is more stilted than evocative, and when the many mysteries are unfurled, the result is an incongruous tapestry of mythological lore and other paranormal elements. Lindsey (Shattered Souls) skillfully crafts tension and ambiance as she unravels details of Liam's past and of D%C3%B2chas itself. Yet when the island's strange creatures are threatened by Liam and Anna's love, they set a trap to destroy it. Liam is astounded when Anna%E2%80%94who has much more depth of character than the tabloids suggest%E2%80%94reciprocates his boundless affection.
Anna, now a beautiful New York socialite, returns to D%C3%B2chas following an embarrassing public spectacle. Liam has always loved his childhood companion Anna, whose prominent family owns a mansion on D%C3%B2chas. The islanders, whose society is governed by Celtic superstition, shun Liam because of his paralyzed arm and rumors that he is cursed. In Lindsey's atmospheric love story, which draws from Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee," Liam MacGregor has lived his entire life on D%C3%B2chas, an isolated island surrounded by otherworldly sea beings.
