The siren / Cass, Kiera

Years ago, Kahlen nearly drowned, but the Ocean itself rescued her, on the condition she serve as a Siren for a period of time to repay her debt. Her voice now lures sailors to their doom, but Kahlen spends time on land, longing for the day when she can speak normally again and live, laugh, and love. Then she meets Akinli, the boy of her dreams, and she decides to risk the wrath of the Ocean in order to follow her heart.

Years ago, Kahlen was rescued from drowning by the Ocean. To repay her debt, she has served as a Siren ever since, using her voice to lure countless strangers to their deaths. Though a single word from Kahlen 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 although 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 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.

A member of the sisterhood of sirens deadly to humans, Kahlen must live a lonely life following the rules that prohibit her forming close bonds with humans and though she has lived by these rules for years now, patiently waiting for the life she can call her own, when Akinli, a human, enters her world, she can not bring herself to live by the rules anymore.
