Deep Water

I’ve always been interested in the idea of shapeshifting – witches who can turn into hares, women who run with the wolves, and selkies, those who are people on land and become seals in the water. People have believed in such things for thousands of years, and across many different cultures. To my mind, there has to be some truth behind the legends. Deep Water is my version of the myth.

What if you discovered you weren't who - or even what - you thought you were? Suddenly people start to fear you. They think you're evil. Cursed. And then they want to destroy you.

Danni never knew about her family's strange legacy until her mum disappeared. And now the only way to save those she loves from a living hell is to embrace her incredible new gift - however impossible it seems.
