Featured in the New York Times, Glamour, Buzzfeed, and more! In this dark and seductive YA fantasy debut, a siren must choose between protecting her family and following her heart in a prejudiced kingdom where her existence is illegal. Saoirse Sorkova survives on lies. As a soldier-in-training at the most prestigious barracks in the kingdom, she lies about being a siren to avoid execution. At night, working as an assassin for a dangerous group of mercenaries, Saoirse lies about her true identity. And to her family, Saoirse tells the biggest lie of all: that she can control her siren powers and doesn't struggle constantly against an impulse to kill. As the top trainee in her class, Saoirse would be headed for a bright future if it weren't for the need to keep her secrets out of the spotlight. But when a mysterious blackmailer threatens her sister, Saoirse takes a dangerous job that will help her investigate: she becomes personal bodyguard to the crown prince. Saoirse should hate Prince Hayes. After all, his father is the one who enforces the kingdom's brutal creature segregation laws. But when Hayes turns out to be kind, thoughtful, and charming, Saoirse finds herself increasingly drawn to him—especially when they're forced to work together to stop a deadly killer who's plaguing the city. There's only one problem: Saoirse is that deadly killer. Featuring an all Black and Brown cast, a forbidden romance, and a compulsively dark plot full of twists, this thrilling YA fantasy is perfect for fans of A Song Below Water and To Kill a Kingdom.

      Starred review from April 24, 2023
      Seventeen-year-old Saoirse Sorkova is a beautiful, brown-skinned siren, believed extinct in the fae-ruled Kingdom of Keirdre. As a siren, she can feel and taste emotions as well as ensnare men’s minds, and she also grapples with an insatiable need to kill. Saoirse hides her lineage and lives in secret among Keirdre’s fae, witch, and human denizens, only sharing her powers with her multi-species family. To make ends meet and protect her non-fae younger sister Rain from the cruel monarchy, Saoirse trains as a soldier in the kingdom’s military school by day, and by night performs covert, clandestine assassinations for an anonymous employer. When Rain receives a blackmail letter threatening to reveal her heritage, Saoirse vows to uncover the blackmailer using her new position as a guard for the otherworldly fae Prince Hayes. But a growing conspiracy soon reveals that her past assassinations might be connected, putting everything she’s worked so hard for at risk. Via Saoirse’s simultaneously ruthless and tender first-person POV, Burton spins an unforgettable debut that boasts impeccable characterizations and fresh takes on well-trod tropes that promise an amorous adventure centering a devoted, rag-tag family, stirring mythos, and sweetly budding romance. Ages 13–up. Agent: Naomi Davis, BookEnds Literary.
