What this book is about
Lira is a siren princess who takes a human heart on every birthday; Elian is a prince who hunts sirens for sport. When a curse from the Sea Queen transforms Lira into a human, she must work with Elian to find an ancient artifact — and everything each thought they knew about monsters and humans begins to change. Alexandra Christo's YA dark fantasy romance puts violence front and center.
