The Siren Sea

By: Cidney Swanson

Narrated by: Amanda Berry

Four teens. One perilous journey. Everything to lose.

Orphaned scholar Katrin longs for a quiet life tending herbs and avoiding trouble. But when her younger brother is caught smuggling illegal siren bones, Katrin must abandon safety to seek his release in the Tsar’s capital.

She doesn’t travel alone for long. A haunted woodsman. A secretive young tsarina. A thief with hidden loyalties. Together, they are bound by magic, debt, and a ruthless duke who wants them captured—alive or dead.

As ancient secrets stir and danger closes in, Katrin must decide what she’s willing to risk for the people she loves—and whether the magic awakening inside her can be trusted at all.

Epic, lyrical, and rich with folklore, The Siren Sea is a clean, high-stakes fantasy perfect for fans of Naomi Novik and Megan Whalen Turner.
