In two hundred B.C. a migrating Celtic tribe led by one of the most prominent women in history settled on a lonely island in what is now Scotland. She was the prophetess Veleda, a Druid. She was raped by a mytical creature called a Selkie and the Druid magic combined with the strength of the Selkie, the Mermaid was born. One of the Druid offspring is Catherine, a young divemaster who operates a scuba-diving buisness on Bainbridge Island in Washington State. In the cold black waters of Puget Sound, Steve and Gil, an oceanographer and photographer charter Catherine's boat. By day the divers plumb the depths of undersea reefs and by night, Gil is courted by the beautiful women of the sisterhood who anxiously await his semen and are prepared to take it by force in order to impregnate the fertile young mermaids. Gil must ultimately decide on his own fate. Will he fly to the Carribean and escape or serve the mistress of the sisterhood? Part 1 of the trilogy.
