Sea Fire

My siren song can force secrets out of anyone. Too bad someone else controls it.

I fled my life under the waves to escape my past—and ended up drowning in debt to a fellow half-siren who knows exactly how valuable my voice is. He wants repayment with interest, and he doesn’t care how many lines I cross to give it to him.

One last job could buy my freedom: working at a luxury vacation lodge for land-loving sirens. No coercion. No secrets stolen. Just easy money.

Except someone is sabotaging the lodge. If it goes up in flames, so does my payout—and my only chance to break free. If I don’t find out who’s behind it, I’ll be trapped under someone else’s control forever.

Worse, if the visiting sirens recognize me, they won’t ask questions. They’ll drag me back to the depths to answer for crimes I can’t afford to relive.

I can make people obey with my voice. But if I don’t reclaim my freedom soon, I’ll never stop being someone else’s weapon.
