Synopsis

Creatures of Song and Shadow is a stand-alone fantasy romance of tragedy and desire.

Love is a pyre. Let it burn.

Once, sirens were feared and respected. Then the Shadow War saw their brothers slaughtered, and the sirens were forced to kneel before a hateful king.

The power of their song will be lost forever if the king discovers their greatest secret: every siren must enter the waters of Lake Naissant and perform a sacred rite by their twentieth year, or else succumb to landsickness and death.

Orphaned by the war, the Siren Tully could only rely on herself. With her age of transformation approaching, she travels to pay tithe to the King, seeking access to the sacred lake. But with drought and famine gripping the kingdom, her request is denied.

A cunning stranger, Eivas, offers to help Tully navigate courtly politics and the king's whims. But when Eivas's schemes border on treason, Tully must decide whether to trust him with her heart and her life, before time runs out.

Creatures of Song & Shadow is a stand-alone fantasy romance of tragedy and desire, perfect for fans of We Who Will Die by Stacia Stark and The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent.
