Description

From the critically-acclaimed, bestselling author of WEYWARD comes a story of sisters separated by hundreds of years, and yet bound together in more ways than they can imagine.
2019: Lucy awakens in her ex-lovers room in the middle of the night with her hands around his throat. Horrified, she flees to her sisters house on the coast of New South Wales, hoping Jess can help explain the vivid dreams that preceded the attack but her sister is nowhere to be found.

As Lucy waits for her return, she starts to unearth strange rumours about Jesss town. Tales of numerous missing men, spread over decades. A baby abandoned in a sea-swept cave. Whispers of womens voices on the waves. All the while, her dreams start to feel closer than ever

1800: Mary and Eliza are torn from their loving home in Ireland and forced onto a convict ship heading for Australia. As the boat bears them further and further from all they know, they begin to notice changes in their bodies that they cant explain.

A breathtaking tale of female resilience, THE SIRENS is an extraordinary novel that captures the sheer power of sisterhood and the indefinable magic of the sea.
