Sirena Strohm - The Queen's Companion, a high-ranking courtier with power and privileges. But she also keeps dangerous secrets. For example, that she holds the king's heart, and that she has magic in a world where magic no longer exists. The Siren wants to find out what this means and how to use her abilities, so she goes to distant Elysia. An island where Companions are prohibited from visiting. But the path is dangerous, and disaster may await at the end. Sirena learns that everything she was told all her life - about the court, about her homeland, even about herself - was intertwined with beautiful lies.
