Aislinn na Mara

By Mrs. Amy Wertz

After traveling to a remote Scottish island to document its abandoned village, photographer Natural Hill watches her research partner walk into the sea-and disappear willingly.

He leaves behind only his wedding ring.

Beneath the island's waters lives Aislinn na Mara, a sea faerie queen who does not take her victims, but seduces them-offering eternal preservation in a kingdom where nothing is lost and nothing is allowed to leave.

Natural escapes. But when she keeps the ring, she becomes bound to the same ancient force that claimed him. The singing follows her home. The dreams begin. And she realizes Aislinn isn't hunting her.

She's waiting for her to choose.

As the boundary between grief and invitation begins to erode, Natural must decide whether to surrender to an existence without loss-or remain human in a world where love, memory, and life itself are temporary.

AISLINN NA MARA is a literary dark fantasy novella about grief, preservation, and the dangerous beauty of letting go.

For readers of Annihilation, The Fisherman, Piranesi, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
