The Wild Ways

From bestselling author Tanya Huff, the second in a trilogy about the formidable Gale family, whose power to charm goes far beyond magic. Charlotte Gale has always been unconventional. She can follow a song to slip from one place to another in a moment, and unlike her homebody cousins and order-consumed aunties, she’s at ease wherever she rests her guitar case. She has a good life in Calgary, eating home cooking, playing country music, and giving misfit lessons to her fierce little cousin. But when her wild auntie prods her toward a Celtic music festival on the other side of the continent, Charlie’s more than ready to go—even though trouble will surely follow. The rocky coasts of Nova Scotia have attracted more than just ceilidh lovers. Someone is stealing sealskins from the area’s selkies, demanding they support an oil well scheduled to drill next to a seal rockery. Vile tricks and chaotic magic await around every corner, and the people who should be her allies are the most confusing of all. All Charlie can do is chase down answers wherever they lead. Because some challenges are meant only for the wild...
