A horrific family tragedy sets seventeen-year-old Astrid Donovan down a path of revenge, where she discovers one of the many secrets her family has guarded for generations.

The Golden Lyre, a cursed instrument which belonged to one of the Three Siren Sisters in ancient times, is hidden in her quiet town and it's up to her to find it.

Will Astrid's investigation determine who her friends really are-and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen? Or will her secrets eventually catch up to her and cost her everything she ever cared about?

Call of the Water (COMPLETE) by EminaRus

There is a whole world Azora has yet to discover. That is our world. The times have changed, humans have changed and somewhere along the way, they forgot about the magical races, forcing them to go into hiding. Azora comes from one of those hidden races whose home is under the surface of the sea. Rejected, alone and unloved, hope for a better future seems to be just out of her reach. But then, life gives her a chance to enter the world of humans, and to do that, she has to let them change her in ways she never thought were possible. In a school created for hidden races, she is learning how to assimilate insensibly into the human world. There are many lessons to learn, many mythical creatures to get to know, but the one thing she never dreamed of is that one homework assignment might change someone's life forever. With her friends by her side, Azora will let her curiosity take her on a journey of discovery, to unveil the biggest mystery in the history of her race. Genre: Fantasy / Urban Fantasy Story status: COMPLETED. WARNINGS: This is not a romance story. The MC doesn't fight the big bad villain. There might be parts that might make you chuckle.
