Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all.
With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most - a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian's heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.
The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavoury hobby - it's his calling. When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she's more than what she appears. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good.
But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind's greatest enemy?
Magic rules the city of Creije Capital and Tavia Syn knows just how many tricks she needs up her sleeve to survive. Selling dark magic on the streets for her kingpin, she keeps clear of other crooks, counting the days until her debt is paid and she can flee her criminal life.
But then, one day, with her freedom in sight, Tavia uncovers a sinister plot that threatens to destroy the realm she calls home. Desperate to put an end to her kingpin's plan, Tavia forms an unlikely alliance with three crooks even more deadly than her:
Wesley, the kingpin's prodigy and most renewed criminal in the realm
Karam, an underground fighter with a penchant for killing first and forgetting to ask questions
And Saxony, a Crafter in hiding who will stop at nothing to avenge her family
With the reluctant saviours assembled, they embark on a quest to put an end to the dark magic before it's too late. But even if they can take down the kingpin and save the realm, the one thing they can't do is trust each other.
Threats are like promises. Don't make ones you can't keep.
With Wesley as their prisoner, Dante Ashwood and Zekia tear through the streets of Uskhanya, conquering cities at a time with their army of Crafters and enthralled citizens. As Wesley realises the truth of his power and Zekia tries to lure him to darkness, he must fight against the deadly magic that invades his mind and find a way back to his friends before it's too late.
Meanwhile, as the cities fall, Tavia, Saxony and Karam prepare for a fight unlike any other. With tensions running high and battles at every turn, they must unite an army of Crafters, crooks and even politicians if they truly want to take down Ashwood once and for all.
But things are never simple: with dark magic circling and old secrets clawing from the grave, the unlikely friends have to decide just how far they'll go to do what's right and if they're willing to sacrifice everything to win - including each other.
Das Lied der Sirenen ist verführerisch und tödlich
Lira ist die Tochter der Meereskönigin und dazu verdammt, einmal im Jahr einem Prinzen das Herz zu rauben. Als Lira einen Fehler begeht, verwandelt ihre Mutter sie zur Strafe in die Kreatur, die sie am meisten verabscheut – einen Menschen. Und sie stellt ihr ein Ultimatum: Bring mir das Herz von Prinz Elian oder bleib für immer ein Mensch. Elian ist der Thronerbe eines mächtigen Königreichs und das Meer ist der einzige Ort, an dem er sich wirklich zu Hause fühlt. Er jagt Sirenen, vor allem die eine, die bereits so vielen Prinzen das Leben genommen hat. Als er eine junge Frau aus dem Ozean fischt, ahnt er nicht, wen er da an Bord geholt hat. Das Unerwartete geschieht: die beiden verlieben sich ineinander – doch hat ihre Liebe eine Zukunft?
