Princess Lira is a lethal siren, revered throughout the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.

This book was intense. And I loved every bit of it. When listening to this as a audiobook, I wasn't expecting to fall in love with the characters as quickly as I did. I adore Lira. She's fierce, strong, independent and brave. An inspiring female. I also love, Elian. The chapters in his perspective were interesting, to say the least. Elian is torn between two worlds: The cunning world of thievery, and the world of riches and entitlement. Elian's internal battle between Prince and Pirate was definitely a advantage to this book. It added another dimension and substance to his character. The overall plot was captivating. Reading about this beautiful aquatic world tainted by a depraved Queen, and the war between humans and sirens was both original and enthralling.

Absolutely a 5 star read, and the hype this book received is very well deserved
