Book Description
When a selkie’s Coat trades white for silver and black, it’s time to enter adulthood. They do this by roaming the ocean alone for two years – just them, an eternity of saltwater, and mortality staring them in the face. Ten percent of them die. The other ninety percent learn some heard truths about who they are, and which parts of themselves aren’t worth sacrificing to survive. Brielle is a week into hers when she finds a merman on the continental shelf. He’s weird and dying; she’s bored. So even though he’s quadruple her size – and despite centuries of their respective species fighting like seagulls at a picnic – she decides to help. Then sharks try to eat them both, Brielle gets kidnapped, the merman might not be a merman at all, and the Vedava – a race of demons that were stopped last time at the cost of the pantheon’s strongest goddess – have escaped to poison the ocean anew.

Author: Union Landing Historical Society
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1614235252
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
Brielles Manasquan River island provided inspiration for Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island, but the town was relatively isolated until 1919. When the Manasquan inlet was created, it transformed the town into the preeminent hub for recreational fishing and a booming resort destination. The earliest European settlers first harvested salt at Union Landing, and, later, resort developers found it reminiscent of their favorite Dutch seaside town and gave it its current moniker. From its Native American origins to the dubious rum-running of the Prohibition era, the town has a rich and colorful history. Raymond F. Shea weaves a rich tapestry of facts, anecdotes and charming stories that displays the story of a town that exchanged its fledgling, farm-town status for a reputation as one of Americas civic gems.
