A sizzling talent never before published in the U.S.,
Cheryl Sawyer delivers an epic that explodes with passion,
intrigue, and war. From the pristine beaches of the
Caribbean islands to the colorful streets of New Orleans,
Siren cuts through waves of high-seas adventure, desperate
desire, and political intrigue-and will leave readers
breathless in its wake. “We are credited with a fleet that Edward
Teach himself would have given his black beard and liver to
assemble. You are depicted with sea snakes in your hair and
a voice like Circe’s, that has drawn me to a thousand
crimes. And when we couple it is on the ocean bed, amongst
Spanish bullion strewn with the skulls of the drowned,
their eye sockets bulging with emeralds and
rubies.”
Such is Jean Laffite’s ironical warning to
privateer Léonore Roncival. But the danger is real,
and more intimate than either dares to admit.
They are drawn together by a blazing affair of the
heart, yet they stand opposed in a dramatic struggle when
the United States take on Britain in the War of 1812. This
breathtaking novel sweeps from the coral cays of the
Caribbean to wealthy and extravagant New Orleans. It is the
story of freebooter Léonore Roncival and the
legendary pirate, Jean Laffite. A story of desire and
possession, of warships and islands, and the treacherous
reefs that lie between.
A story where the most dangerous battle of all is
fought within the stronghold of the heart.
