Book Title: Home from the Sea

Author: Mercedes Lackey

Summary: Mari, daughter of a Welsh fisherman, had always kept somewhat to herself. This was partly to avoid questions about her father’s unusual prosperity and luck, and partly because she spent her whole life able to see what others could not… water spirits and other such creatures. Then her father explains the reason for the family’s luck: an old bargain with the seal-folk called the Selch, in which one of the family married a Selch, who would return to the sea after two children were born, taking one and leaving the other… and now it’s time for Mari to wed and continue the bargain. But Mari is also an Elemental Master, though untrained, and her power has caught the attention of the head mage of the Elemental Masters, who sends agents of his own to make sure the unknown Elemental Master doesn’t become evil or unbalanced, and who come to Mari’s aid in a most unexpected way.
