Driven to secrecy for safety, Safira Zeore buries her heritage and bloody past beneath the waves, and for sixteen years, the very truth she exiled comes back to find her, and her entire world is cast into pandemonium when pirates invade her island refuge. The band of criminals who slaughtered her innocence before her eyes have sought out Safira, the King of the Crimson Marauders, Captain Killian Bane, knowing her darkest secret: she is a siren, blessed with unknown darknesses and the gift of song, her voice poised to grant wishes and heal burdens - but Killian intends on using Safira as his mouthpiece to grant him his heart's darkest desire.
For the sake of innocence, Safira agrees to sail with the criminals if her island and the people remains unscathed - but they have each committed unholy sins in the name of survival and ambition - and now that they are together on the sea, both isolated victims of perpetual evil made criminals, each with pasts rooted in treachery, they are forced to witness the awakening of their demons, each one set on remaking them as the product of a gruesome toll, and their actions force the tides of judgement to ebb in their direction.
The old gods have begun to stir from their heavenly perches, awakening to the breaking of their laws, and they each rally for the atonement of the traitorous below, their sights set on the capture of the aligned pirate and siren. Despite their sinning worshippers, their thirst for order in spite of birthing their own perpetual evils leads them to their breaking poin - and some deities are doomed to fall for their atrocities. The greatest heist is underway, the hunt for justice intensifies on both heavenly and mortal plains, and for love, Safira and Killian are plunged into the foreseen power in their blood, risking the wrath of man, the sea and the gods, none of which treat kindly to betrayal.
