Se muestra que Elián es un príncipe con corazón de pirata, que no tiene interés en cumplir con sus deberes reales como futuro rey, sino que le gusta viajar a través de los mares para matar sirenas, para hacer que los mares sean seguros, como él cree que lo son los mares. Elian, unfamiliar with Khalia, tries to kill her to save Yukiko, but Lira steps in, begging Elian not to kill her cousin. When a series of tsunamis start worrying Lira, she warns the Midasan queen about it, but she doesn't expect to be trapped under the rubbles of the castle after a massive earthquake hits the city. The sacrifice, pain, heartbreak, MERMAIDS, attractive sailor types… there’s nothing about these stories that I don’t love. I think it might even be worse than Crooked Kingdom haha *sobbing* I didn't think I'd be finding another book with a boring cast, plot, and story so soon.

It’s a well-known fact that sirens are beautiful, but the bloodline of Keto is royal and with that comes its own beauty.The novel is filled with secrets, betrayal, loss, death, forgiveness, redemption, with love shining through. It is more so filled with witty dialogue between the characters, and descriptions of each character from the others’ point of view. She tries to put on a different personality around her mother so The Sea Queen won’t see what truly lies within Lira – a good heart. Fantasy is not the genre I prefer but a book about mythology and sirens and pirates is right up my alley. Instead, we get Lira, a cruel siren princess who takes pleasure in ripping the hearts of princes right out of their drowning bodies.

then you literally watch this strange girl as she speaks with another Siren right in front of you—and yet you still believe that she's human? But as much as it made her a monster, it gave her a sense of responsibility to take what is hers and protect it. Because if you guessed “Lira will now participate in a not-so-slow burn but absolutely teeming with sh*tty banter romance with the Siren Killer himself, Elian,” you’re today’s lucky winner! It follows Lira, the siren princess of the sea, who is tasked with taking the hearts of human princes each year for her birthday.It is a retelling of “The Little Mermaid” that reimagines the mermaid princess from Hans Christian Andersen’s story as a bloodthirsty siren whose kind has been engaged in a war against humanity for centuries. They’re each other’s perfect foils and really understand each other on a level that we all hope for when we fall in love.

But because Lira doesn't know patience and thirsts for the heart of a prince even though she literally just had to wait two more weeks.it has a whole pirate crew (*dreamy sighs*), it has sirens (seriously) and it has Elian (my husband) who is also a pirate prince. There’s a constant sense of danger and urgency coursing through this novel, even in times of levity. This trip was a gift for Kahlia: to hold the heart of royalty in her hands and name it her fifteenth.
