Publisher Description
Enjoy this story by historical fantasy romance author Anne Renwick where you'll unravel mysteries and defy conventions in a world where danger lurks around every corner. You’ll find forbidden romance, evil villains and mad science...
Off the windswept shores of Scotland, unnatural and deadly secrets lurk beneath the waves.
Isa McQuiston is caught between two worlds.
Strange creatures are attacking her people, the injuries inflicted beyond her medical expertise. Men tossed ashore by the waves, drained of blood, a severed tentacle piercing their flesh. Any hope of finding answers involves forging a cautious alliance with a handsome outsider.
Dr. Alec McCullough, recovering naval officer, is investigating a rash of inexplicable octopus attacks, but his every effort is met with resistance. Coaxing an attractive young widow—the local healer—to allow him to examine the latest victim only leads to further complications.
Together, they uncover layers of deceit—and creatures fabricated from a fusion of both living and mechanical components. As innocent lives are callously sacrificed, Isa and Alec struggle to forge a future together while attempting to prevent a disaster of international proportions.

Customer Reviews
Scotland
A fascinating trip to Scotland. Isa is half selkie and Alec is the member of a kind of SEAL team. They have to work together to hunt down a villain preying upon her own people.
The Iron Fin-Good Book
This book is the third book of the series and while good, book two is my favorite.
As with the other books, the steampunk was unique and inventive, the plot held unexpected twists and ended in a HEA scene. While I had a little bit of trouble getting involved in the first few chapters, I was glad I stuck with it. I’d also recommend this third book in the series.
