Kahlen is a siren, bound to the Ocean for a century of servitude. Her voice is a lethal weapon, able to lure unsuspecting humans to their watery graves. But when Akinli, a kind-hearted stranger, stumbles into her life, Kahlen can't bring herself to follow the siren's ancient rules. Torn between her duty and her growing feelings, Kahlen must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a chance at love—even if it means betraying the very thing that makes her a siren.
