The sirens have been evacuated to a remote island after years of being pillaged and murdered for their ancestors crimes. Though the sirens enjoy their peaceful life on their new, lone island, food is growing scarce, resources are becoming more limited, and with no males in the species, reproduction is impossible. Ember has broken the rules before. She has swam to the human shores and seen humans. Unfortunately, it's not all the glamor that fairytales boast. She returns to the sea, battered and bloody, but her battle is over. Until she is chosen to go back to the humans. She is elected to marry a prince in need of a wife and strengthen bonds with the humans again, but the world she sees is worse than the one she fled from.

The witches of Spellmoore and the warlocks of Blackspire have lived in blood-soaked opposition for Centuries, their hatred passed down like a curse. When Sorren Rowanthorne, a witch with rare healing magic, is bound by marriage to Magnus Veylor, heir to the warlock throne, the union is meant as nothing more than a political truce. But the lines between enemy and lover blur as Sorren's fire and Magnus's iron resolve spark something neither can deny. But as war threatens to engulf them once more, Sorren must fight for his people and the man who has become his home. Magnus, bound by duty to protect his fortress and his kin, cannot ignore the way Sorren haunts his every thought. Their choices will shape the fate of witches and warlocks alike. And in the ruins of war, love may be the only magic strong enough to endure.
