YA
Socialite Anna Leighton is exiled to the tiny island her family visited years ago, where the islanders maintain an uneasy relationship with selkies and more vengeful otherworldly creatures. Strewn with gothic elements and allusions to Poe, Lindsey's tragic tale inspired by "Annabel Lee" lyrically relates a magical wager that tests the devotion of love.
