Words sting. Songs kill.
The Cruel Prince meets To Kill a Kingdom in this seductive YA fantasy debut, in which 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 secrets. As the last siren in her kingdom, she can sing any man to an early grave - but her very existence is illegal, and if her true identity were ever discovered, it would be her life on the line.
By day, Saoirse disguises herself as a fae, pretending to be the perfect soldier-in-training. By night, she satisfies her darker urges working as an assassin for dangerous mercenaries. And all the while, she keeps the biggest secret of all: that she is not always in control of her Siren powers, or her desire to kill.
Then a blackmailer threatens her sister, and Saoirse's investigation takes her to the royal palace, and her most dangerous job yet: personal bodyguard to the Crown Prince.
Saoirse expects to despise Prince Hayes. But he is kind, thoughtful, and charming, and she finds herself increasingly drawn to him ... until he tasks her with investigating a killer plaguing the kingdom. The problem: the killer is Saoirse.
Trapped by her deadly double life, Saoirse can't leave the palace until she saves her sister ... but who will save her from herself?

Sarah J. Maas and Kate Murray fans, get ready for a new femme fatale on the dark, dystopian fantasy scene!
In Keirdre, a city cut off from the rest of the world to segregate fae from other species, Saoirse must disguise herself every day with magic to keep her identity safe from the persecution of a genocidal fae king.
Not only is Saoirse the last siren in existence and a lethal assassin by night, she is also the best warrior in training for the Vanihailan military and the self proclaimed protector of her little sister.
When a surprise twist at graduation leads to her joining the Prince’s personal guard rather than becoming an Enforcer as planned, Saoirse has to play a dangerous game and juggle all her identities whilst uncovering deadly secrets to keep her sister’s blackmailer at bay. Most of all, she really must stop falling for the unreasonably handsome Prince she’s supposed to hate.
With intrigue and enemies around every corner, and the scent of people’s emotions only revealing half the truth, can she overcome the compulsion of the murderess within, save the Prince and help change the broken laws of Keirdre forever? For ages 13+.
