A siren heir’s mission into fae territory

Mariana’s search for her missing sister links a family rescue to the fate of the siren people. Finding a powerful amulet is central to her effort to reclaim their lost homeland, but her capture by fae warrior Dax brings her into the politics of the kingdom she is sworn to oppose. The story combines mermaid and fae fantasy with a romance shaped by divided loyalties, hidden truths, and danger to both peoples. As the first book in the Leruna Sea Series, it ends on a cliff-hanger. The description also flags death, grief, and trauma as themes that may be emotionally challenging.

Book overview

Addictive and enchanting, When the Wicked Sing is a sirens-vs-fae, enemies-to-lovers romantasy full of spellbinding adventure, dangerous desire, and ruthless twists that will leave you breathless.

FROM THE DARKNESS, THEY WILL RISE.


Banished from the fae realm and hunted to the edge of extinction by their ruthless enemies, the last surviving sirens have been forced into hiding beneath the waves of the Leruna Sea. As heir to the siren throne, Mariana has spent her life watching her people suffer, their fragile sense of safety slowly unraveling under the shadow of growing darkness in the underwater city of Salus.

When her sister, Astra, vanishes during a peace mission to the fae kingdom, Mariana faces a brutal choice: obey her queen and do nothing or risk everything to bring Astra home.

To save her sister and the future of all sirens, Mariana must recover a powerful amulet capable of restoring their forsaken homeland, Sirenia, before it falls into the hands of the fae king. Her plan takes a turn when she is captured by Dax, a mysterious fae warrior with secrets as deep as the sea. Mariana is sworn to hate him, but as he drags her to the heart of enemy territory, a dangerous desire grows between them, blurring the line between duty and temptation.

As Mariana and Dax are drawn deeper into a perilous web of fae politics, long-buried truths, and heartbreaking betrayal, they uncover dark forces threatening not only her people but the entire realm.

In a world where loyalty is fragile, love is dangerous, and truth is deceptive, Mariana must stop the wicked forces rising in the shadows before they can sing their final, deadly song.

When the Wicked Sing dives into a world where sirens are threatened with extinction against their ruthless enemies, the fae. Perfect for fans of the dark siren lore and sharp wit in To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo, the fae politics and dangerous romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, and the high-stakes alliances of The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen. It is book one in the Leruna Sea Series and ends on a cliff-hanger.

This book explores themes of death, grief, and trauma. While these elements are integral to the story, they may be emotionally challenging for some readers. Please proceed with care and prioritize your well-being.
