A mysterious man, dragged from the sea as though half-drowned, who leads Doyle to an island that had never existed before, and from whom the fish flee... who is Bodie really? Surely he can't really be a silkie, a stealer of souls, not when he's everything that Doyle has ever wanted...?
I'm not even sure whether this could be our Bodie and Doyle - does it keep hold of them by its fingernails? Doyle is timid, but in fact he does defy his uncle and Father Henry, despite being dragged at by his duty... and Bodie has travelled the seas and now what he wants it Doyle... It could be.
