Excerpt from upcoming novel:
"Jace listened to the melodic tunes echoing all around him, trying not to give in. He had killed beasts much larger than these, but yet he was losing. He had fought krakens 10 times his size, if not more, and won. Now, he was losing to an enemy he had thought of as a myth. Now, he was walking to his death.
As the tunes filled his ears, he could no longer think straight. His vision was getting blurry, and he could no longer control his own body. His left leg moved without him telling it to. Then his right. Then the left again, and so on. As one leg went over the side, forcing the rest of him down with it, all hope was gone; not that he could have hope in the foggy haze he was trapped in. He heard the songs get louder, and felt the last bit of air escape his lungs. He had lost.
As his vision darkened around the edges, and he could feel the vibrations in the water, he knew the Sirens were upon him. "
