HERALDA gothic tale of family, the legend of the selkies -
shapeshifting mythological creatures - and a young woman who is
offered an impossible choice.The only daughter in a family of
Scottish seal-hunters, Kier Sealgair is becoming a burden. She
cannot kill, and the family are facing hard times now that her
father is ailing. On the neighbouring cliffs stands Erskine Manor,
home to a mysterious and wealthy family. Servants arrive in town to
buy supplies, but the family is never seen, and waves of rumour
spread in the struggling small-town community.Then, one day, after
a chance encounter, Lady Erskine finds Kier and offers her a
bargain that could save Kier's father and change the town's
impending fate. But questions remain. Who lives in the five towers
of the manor? Is the Lord of the house alive? And are the children
of the manor even human, or are the tales of spine-toothed monsters
who roam the grounds true?A period gothic tale of legends, secrets
and monsters in the deep, weaving myth and folklore, The Bone Diver
