Lorelei Clark thought her future lay in teaching music until her father died tragically. Shattered by his death, she timidly accepts an invitation from a mysterious aunt to visit her oceanfront home. She quickly reveals that her aunt and the two women who live with her are hiding a terrible secret, that they are sirens, frightening mythical creatures that killed sailors with their singing. And, as it turns out, Lorelei is one of them. In a new world where water comes to life at her touch and ancient power pulsates beneath the waves, it is important for Lorelei to remember that sirens do not interfere with fate. When she breaks a rule by rescuing a handsome sailor who was about to die at sea, the sirens declare that she must finish the job or the consequences will be dire. But Lorelei is drawn to him, and she must fight to keep him safe from the others, even risking her life and her heart in the process.
