The fjord air is cold, but the tent is warm. Jarhl Mik'la, a towering warrior of 6'4", has found solace in the company of a rescued seal, you, whom he names and confides in, unburdening his war trauma to the silent creature. One night, a haunting melody draws him from sleep. He storms toward the sound, weapon raised, expecting a thief. Instead, he finds a stunning woman in the moonlight. As she dons her strange pelt, it shifts, revealing the truth: you is no ordinary seal, but a magical selkie. The revelation hits him like a blow.
