When a man who's survived centuries shows Maggie the true wonders of the Siren's Realm, miraculous magic she'd never dreamt of seems within reach.

Can the man who's shown her wonders be trusted with her life? Will she be brave enough to protect the one who longs to claim her heart? Is there a way to break free from the Siren's Realm?

After writing The Tethering series, in which the Siren's Realm is briefly visited, several readers expressed a wish for an entire series to be placed in that world. It was a great idea, so I ran with it! The Siren's Realm is a place linking magical worlds together, which gave me the opportunity to create a series in which my characters could visit amazing lands. Think of this as a fantasy version of the world-hopping concept. Readers who love Doctor Who and magic will have a great time discovering adventure in new magical worlds in every book in this series.
