Synopsis
Bound to the water bound to land, a Siren’s soul will never be safe on either side of the ocean’s surface. Hidden beneath the rolling waves lies the secret to Theia’s past and as she unveils each haunting truth, she realizes the last seventeen years of her life have been a lie. Now, drawn into a mysterious new world and with nowhere to turn, Theia must place her trust in Luc, a beautiful boy who stops her heart with each dazzling smile, but even his unearthly charm can’t hide the truth—he has secrets— dark secrets binding him to his world—an underwater world where Theia will never belong—a world determined to destroy her soul.
Excerpt
The
rain continued to drown out the sun, and Theia had no idea what time of day it
was, but she was sure she wouldn't make it until nightfall. Her limbs grew
heavy like an anchor seeking the sandy bottom. She let her eyelids slide
closed. She couldn't fall asleep—sleep meant death in the middle of the ocean,
but resting her eyes let her imagine someplace else—a place without so much
water.
Her
head dipped below the surface, and she bolted up at once.
Bad
girl, she scolded herself. You
want to die like this? You have to stay awake!
She
continued her mental pep talk as she straightened her legs and swam a little
farther. Her legs worked like scissors, cutting through the thick water,
leading her to nowhere, but she had to try to find the shore. She found her
rhythm, moving with the flow of the water, moving faster now, imagining the
shoreline before her.
Theia
kicked harder, her eyes focused on the horizon. She thrust forward, but, as she
did, her ankle caught on something—she was stuck. She kicked with her left leg,
but a crushing hold, like a fist wrapped around her ankle. Her scream was cut
off as her head slipped under. Her body rushed through the water as if being
dragged by an invisible tow rope.
Theia
twisted, wriggling free from the force, and she frantically paddled her way to
the surface. Her leg burned with the sting of salt water—she had been cut. She
reached for her leg, trying to see the wound, but she was swiped from the side.
She screamed and tucked her legs up to her chest. Her gaze darted to the ring
of dark shadows circling beneath her.
"Oh
crap—sharks!"
