The Selkie's Curse

From the mist-shrouded shores of Loch Ness, a haunting legend rises.  Ewan MacLeod, a young Highlander bound by duty to his struggling clan, witnesses an impossible transformation: a seal shedding its skin to reveal Finola, a selkie whose beauty masks a tragic secret. She is both prisoner and key to a curse that has choked the Highlands for generations, poisoning the land and twisting the hearts of the clans.
Drawn to Finola’s ethereal grace and driven by the plight of his people, Ewan embarks on a perilous quest to break the curse. Guided by the enigmatic Kendra Gomez, a woman whose knowledge stretches beyond the mortal realm, they uncover a tale of broken oaths and ancient betrayals. They learn the curse isn't merely a blight upon the land, but a malevolent entity feeding on despair, growing stronger with every whispered accusation.
Their path leads them through treacherous landscapes and crumbling ruins, where riddles whisper on the wind and clues lie hidden in ancient stones.  But their quest is shadowed by Kendra’s hidden agenda and the growing suspicion that she's not the benevolent guide she appears to be.  Their journey is further complicated by the Laird’s descendant, James Choi, a man haunted by ancestral guilt who resists the call to action, his reluctance mirroring Ewan's own internal struggle between duty and a forbidden love.
As Samhain approaches, the veil between worlds thins, and the curse intensifies, warping reality itself.  On a sacred isle shrouded in mist, they confront the curse’s malevolent heart.  But breaking it requires more than ancient rituals and forgotten lore; it demands a sacrifice, a choice that could cost them everything.  Ewan and Finola must choose between their love and the fate of the Highlands, their decision echoing through the ages, forever shaping the destiny of a land steeped in magic and shadowed by the whispers of the deep.
