Part of The Siren Mage
First published 2025
Imogen Nel lives far from the ocean, suppressing her Siren nature to avoid the king's brutal hunters. She keeps her wings buried beneath human skin and starves her bloodlust through distance from salt water. Her careful disguise crumbles when a visiting monarch recognizes her true identity. He demands her help against a threat that endangers both kingdoms. Imogen's dormant abilities surge back to life, forcing her and the king into a protective blood bond. They escape together across seas crawling with the undead. The journey awakens desires that complicate their mission. Imogen discovers her inherited powers may prove insufficient against their supernatural enemy. She faces an impossible choice between remaining human and embracing the monster within. Her survival depends on accepting the very nature she has spent years denying.
