You'll get a swoon-worthy, slow-burn romance between morally gray characters that delivers intense chemistry and a satisfying HEA.
Synopsis
You heard her scream when he fell on that battlefield. Stealing a prized jewel is nothing compared to a heart. Raised to be the perfect thief, Lyra was not above using her body or her siren's song to take exactly what she wanted, when she wanted it. But when she is attacked and her song is stolen, she must find a way to win over the commander of the Flame Court while on the brink of war, even if it means sacrificing everything she'd ever learned about being a siren. She thought she could fool him, fool them all. But really she was only fooling herself. This standalone spin-off will sweep you under the sea with star-crossed lovers, stow you away on pirate ships, and destroy you all over again.
