There are those who say sirens, wild, beautiful, deadly creatures, half-bird, half-human, lured fishermen to their deaths by leading them away from lighthouses, into sharp, deadly rocks, using their beautiful voices. There are those who say sirens are beautiful creatures, mermaid-like ones, that sing to the fishermen tales of others. These fishermen are so infatuated with the beautiful creatures that they come closer, closer, to the mermaid-like animals. Enticed, entranced, ensnared with the beauty of both body and voice, these fishermen leap from their boats and drown in the swarm of waiting shredding teeth and powerful fins. But what these tales don't portray is the truth. Their crafty cousins, mermaids, are the deadly destructive ones, the ones that legends have painted as sirens. Sirens have no interest in the deaths of the fishermen. They care only for each other, and for hunting for their long lost mistress, Persephone. It's been hundreds of years, though, since the last true sighting of Persephone, held deep in Hade's supposedly merciless clutches. The three Sirens (Meara, Himeropa, and Libertina) have now turned their focus to more earthly concerns: pollution, destruction, death, and the like. Follow Meara, one of the three sirens of legend, as she races to save her sister from the clutches of the merfolk, finding quests and answers to hard questions along the way. Things aren't always easy under the water.

Waveborn

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.
