![]() ![]() ![]() Sirens don’t age, so how do we tell how old they are? In Alexandra Christo’s To Kill A Kingdom, Sirens collect a heart for every year of their life. But unlike Ariel, Princess Lira is Siren who has absolutely no desire to ever be human she’d rather tear out their hearts. In this twisted adaptation of the Little Mermaid we meet Lira – daughter of the Sea Queen – who has only ever tasted the hearts of princes, which has earned her the identity that is feared throughout land and sea – the Prince’s Bane. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of siren-kind for good-But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy? When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavoury hobby-it’s his calling. The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most-a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. ![]()
