Pearls of Sea and Stone: The Book of Seals
Selkies' Skins Prequel
This will slip back and forth between Kirsty during her initial studies, and what she is reading in "The Book of Seals."
Kirsty Makay finds an old book in the merstudies section of Castle Carrick's library, bearing a strange cover that feels oddly familiar. On reading she discovers a trove of Selkies myths recorded by a Father Liam Ronan at the Our Lady of the Sea Abbey in 300 A.D. Is the scribe a selkie, or just a sympathizer toward the specie? What can Kirsty learn about her selkie heritage from this ancient book that she can't learn from other sources?
Perhaps it's a good thing that all books placed in the library routinely have preservation spells on them to slow decay.

Regarding an audio version
Illya Leonov has requested permission to narrate this title, and it has been granted. I also have given him permission to post it on his Youtube and/or Soundcloud once he has finished.
It has been discussed about whether or not to play the audio tracks in the Trotsdale Library in Second Life. I would like to see this happen, so all that remains now is picking a regular day to broadcast that fits into his schedule.
