Princess Lira is siren royalty, a predator of the sea legendary for the seventeen hearts of princes she's collected. Prince Elian is heir to a powerful kingdom, but his true calling is the ocean, where he captains a deadly crew with a single purpose: to hunt and eradicate sirens. They are each other's most feared enemy, two sides of a war as old as the kingdoms themselves. When Lira defies her mother, the Sea Queen, her punishment is to be turned into the one thing she despises most - a human.

Stripped of her voice and given until the winter solstice, Lira must deliver the heart of the siren-hunting prince to the Sea Queen or remain human forever. In a twist of fate, she is rescued by none other than Prince Elian himself. He sees a helpless woman who may hold the key to his quest; she sees her only chance at salvation. This dark retelling of a classic tale forces two mortal enemies into a fragile alliance, questioning what it means to be a monster and what it means to be human as they navigate a journey that could either destroy both their worlds or unite them.
