海神Ocean拯救即將被滅頂的年輕女孩,代價是女孩必須做為Siren為海神服務100年。Siren要維持年輕和美貌,並用甜美的聲音,誘惑陌生人走進這濕冷冷的海裡。為了維持Siren的神祕,她們不能在同一地久待,也不能與人交談。Kahlen在一次家人全遭吞沒的船難中成為Siren。 Kahlen喜歡看陸地的人來人往,常常想著恢復以往能說話,能歡笑的日子。Kahlen遇到了帥氣又善良的Akinli,對Akinli動了心,但,要是Ocean知道的話,Kahlen將被迫永遠離開Akinli。一直乖乖守著Ocean規則的Kahlen,這次,想忠於自己的心…

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Selection series comes this sweeping standalone fantasy romance. A girl with a secret. The boy of her dreams. An ocean between them.

Throughout the ages, the Ocean has occasionally rescued young women from drowning. To repay their debt, these young women must serve for 100 years as Sirens, remaining young and beautiful and using their deadly voices to lure strangers into watery graves. To keep their true nature secret, Sirens must never speak to humans, and must be careful never to stay in the same place for too long. But once her century of service is over, each Siren gets a chance to start over – a chance to live the mortal life that was almost stolen from her.

Kahlen became a Siren after her family died in a terrible shipwreck, decades ago. And though a single word from her can kill, she can’t resist spending her days on land, watching ordinary people and longing for the day when she will be able to speak and laugh and live freely among them again.

Kahlen is resigned to finishing her sentence in solitude…until she meets Akinli. Handsome, caring, and kind, Akinli is everything Kahlen ever dreamed of. And though she can’t talk to him, they soon forge a connection neither of them can deny… and Kahlen doesn’t want to.

Falling in love with a human breaks all of the Ocean’s rules, and if the Ocean discovers Kahlen’s feelings, she’ll be forced to leave Akinli for good. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart.
