Kahlen is a Siren--bound to serve the Ocean by using her voice to lure humans to their deaths at sea. A single word from Kahlen can kill, but she can't resist spending her days on land, wishing she could speak and live freely among ordinary people.

Kkinli is human--a kind, handsome boy who's everything Kahlen's ever dreamed of. And though she can't talk to him, they begin to form a connection Kahlen doesn't want to ignore.

Falling in Love with a human breaks all the Ocean's rules. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart.

Review Quotes

"A cross between The Hunger Games (minus the bloodsport) and The Bachelor (minus the bloodsport), this trilogy launch is a lot of fun. Cass deftly builds the chemistry between America and Maxon, while stoking the embers of America's first, forbidden love."--Publishers Weekly

"Deliciously entertaining."--Publishers Weekly

"A twist on Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' that romance fans will enjoy."--School Library Journal

"An engrossing tale reminiscent of Shannon Hale's Princess Academy and Ally Condie's Matched. Fairy-tale lovers will lose themselves in America's alternate reality and wish that the next glamorous sequel were waiting for them."--School Library Journal

"Cass's immensely readable debut novel is a less drastic Hunger Games, with elaborate fashion and trappings. The fast-paced action will have readers gasping for the upcoming sequel."--ALA Booklist

PRAISE FOR KIERA CASS: "A real page-turner. Romance, royalty, and revolution in a reality-show format serve Cass' boldly rendered heroine well in her quest for justice and love."--ALA Booklist
