Her voice once stirred devotion. Now it stirs obsession, and he will kill to claim it.

Lila Thorne was once a prodigy, a half-elf born to a religious commune where her voice was said to be blessed by Surén, the goddess of love and beauty.

Now, in the dark city of Nightspire, she's made a name for herself as 'Lila the Siren'. Whispers among nobles say that her voice can charm saints, seduce sinners, and unravel anyone in between.

She performs alongside her twin sister at the Gilded Bloom, an upscale brothel where the city's elite come to indulge, to disappear, or to sit slack-jawed, forgetting their own names. Among them is Lord Kaelthor. He's wealthy, dangerous, and very bad at taking no for an answer.

But then Artie returns.

He is her brother's best friend; the one she was never supposed to want. He's older now, steadier, and somehow even harder to resist. And he has a very inconvenient habit of showing up exactly when she needs him most.

Desire becomes rebellion. Obsession turns to war. And in a city where secrets are a form of currency, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
