Elliot is a wizard who has been banished for causing damage with his uncontrolled power.  He travels to the seaside village where his sister resides as a lighthouse keeper and meets her assistant Rue.  Rue is a selkie, half-man and half seal.  His magic is even more powerful than Elliots, though quite different.  The story is in a wonderful setting and the ocean's power makes a brilliant emotive background to the action.  Together they find they are strong enough to deal with many dangerous or traumatic situations.  I really like this author and am reading several stories by her right now which I am enjoying very much.  The absence of explicit sex is a bonus for me, as I occasionally find myself rapidly page-flipping through fifty percent of some book filled with boring cut-and-paste sex scenes.  In exchange, here we get wonderful character development and the characters really spend time together.  Having finished it, I think I will start over and read it again now.
