It is a day of yellow fog, and the Folk are hungry.
The story of the orphan Corinna who earns her living tending to the subterranean creatures called Folk. She is taken to live with a family on the sea to tend to their Folk. While there she discovers, she is a seal maiden and must make some tough choices.

An interesting world the author created inspired by Scottish songs sung by her father.
