Princess Lira is siren royalty, and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered and feared across the sea - until she kills the wrong person, a member of her own family. As punishment, the Sea Queen transforms her daughter into the one thing sirens despise most: a human. Robbed of her song and her power, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver the heart of a special prince to the Sea Queen, or she will remain human forever. Prince Elian is a well-loved pirate prince who is more interested in hunting sirens than sitting on a throne. When he rescues a drowning girl - Lira in disguise - from the ocean, he sees an opportunity: use her knowledge of sirens to help him destroy the Sea Queen for good. Now Lira and Elian are forced into an uneasy, dangerous alliance as they hunt the very same monster from two very different sides. Their journey takes them from the vibrant kingdom of Eidyllio to the tumultuous court of Midas, and along the way Lira and Elian must decide who they can truly trust - and whether the love slowly growing between them is worth losing absolutely everything for..
