Description
Thelia's mistake cost her dearly - the loss of Proserpina, goddess of spring. For centuries, she and her sisters were banished to Scopuli, cursed to live as sirens, luring sailors to their deaths with an irresistible song in the hope of gaining favor from the gods. But when ships stopped coming, Thelia feared a fate worse than the Underworld. A voice emerged, Proserpina's voice, and what she asked of Thelia sparked a dangerous quest for their freedom. Drifting at sea alone after weeks of sacrifice on Scopuli, Thelia's renewed human body was close to death. An unfamiliar island appeared on the horizon: Roanoke. Posing as a princess, Thelia infiltrated the small English colony, where she realized that this place was treacherous for women. As she grew closer to a beautiful settler who mysteriously resembled her former love, Thelia formulated a plan to save her sisters and enact revenge on the violent men she'd come to despise. But was she willing to return to Scopuli and face the consequences of her past decisions?
