The Wild Ways by Tanya Huff. 295 p.A sequel to The Enchantment Emporium, which I read previously and enjoyed quite a lot. Charlie is a Gale family Wild Talent; she's an itinerant musician, and prides herself on not settling down like her cousin Allie has. But she's considering settling a bit. Maybe. Then events accrue, and she ends up in a different band, and their fiddler's girlfriend is a selkie who has had her pelt stolen...by Charlie's Aunt Catherine, one of the scary older women in the family. The selkie is a member of an environmental group that's fighting an evil oil company, and the company had several members' pelts stolen to blackmail them into supporting the company's plans for a well. Charlie borrows Jack--the 14-year-old Dragon Prince who's been living with Allie--to be her band's roadie, and sets out to make things happen while playing the celtic music circuit.
