Summary
Saoirse has never expected to save a siren. On a night meant for solitude, Saoirse hears a broken voice bleeding through the rocks near her stream. She follows it, prepared to find another foolish mortal. Instead, she finds her oldest kind of enemy.
A siren lies shattered on the shore, her song reduced to silence, her beauty bruised, her power stripped to a fragile breath. Saoirse should leave her to die. Sirens are ruins wrapped in silk, honeyed voices that drag men to their deaths without remorse. But Saoirse knows something about being made into a monster.
Against her instincts, she brings the siren into her sanctuary. What begins as reluctant mercy turns into something far more dangerous. The siren does not sing—but she watches, and she sees past the snakes, past the legend, into the loneliness coiled beneath Medusa’s curse. And the sea is not a guest that leaves quietly. In saving a siren, Saoirse may have invited the only thing more perilous than gods or heroes—someone who cannot be turned to stone.
