In a world that has forgotten its magic, Lira hides in plain sight - a siren forced to live among humans, bound by ancient law to silence her voice and her heart. One song, one kiss, one heartbeat of love... and the sea will claim her forever.
Then she meets Elias, a storm-chaser with salt in his blood and something wild in his soul. Their connection is instant - silent but undeniable, a current that pulls them toward each other no matter how they fight it.
But when love between a siren and a human threatens the fragile peace between land and sea, fate turns cruel. Death comes for Elias, and Lira must break every law of her kind to save him - even if it means losing herself to the deep.
Caught between two worlds, between destiny and desire, they must decide:
Will love drown, or will it learn to breathe?

Karil seeks to wipe out the magic that Idoria worships and Delos is caught in the middle, taking refugees and making alliances that are raising tensions more than diffusing them.

This world needs salvation. And it may come from the most unlikely of sources; the bastard of a sullen king, an assassin with a deadly secret, and a monster hunter from an ancient order. They may not save the world but they will give it a choice. Resurrection or ruin? What will humanity choose?Complete

I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for.
