The daughter of a forbidden union between an earth elemental and a selkie, her rare powers have meant she has always had a target on her back.   So Dreckly - a 40-something oyster shucker according to her fake documents, 140- something sprite if you're going to get all nit-picky about it - has become an expert at many things. Chief amongst them: hiding.   When she meets a determined group of rebels who desperately need her help, she finds herself wanting to stick her neck out for the first time in a long while.
