A century ago, the human-mer treaty was established to protect the mer from the humans while they guided ships through storm-plagued waters. Now, Aila and her cousin, Persephone, act as representatives for their grandfather, King Gaspar, to the human world. The mermaids share a close bond with the Prince Jarek, but when Alia catches Persephone trying to siren him into the waters, she must work to protect her friend from her cousin without hurting the human-mer relationship—something Persephone’s mother won’t tolerate. War is brewing and Aila and Persephone are caught in the middle of a battle they never saw coming—one that will last for another century.Every war has an origin...she just never thought it would be her.

The sirens have ripped Celena away from her collection of mer, leaving her exposed to the dangers of the open seas. As she fights to save her sister, the royal mermaid is forced into deadly encounters with anything that gets in the sirens' way, taking the brunt of the trauma as she tries to protect her little sister and escape the sirens' revenge. She quickly learns that the attack on the palace in Scylla wasn't the only thing Tarni and Nir had planned--they intend to use Celena and her sister for an even darker purpose--starting a battle with the humans. When Merrick, Caspian, and Llyr try to free Celena and Coralie, they disrupt the sirens' plans and find themselves in the middle of a war with both their enemies under the sea and the humans above the waves. As the collection closes in to aid in the rescue mission, they find themselves in a deadly siege above the surface that can only end in destruction. The Siren Wars are nowhere near over.

War has hovered around the kingdom of Scylla for generations ever since the original sirens left the mer collection generations ago after nearly drowning the human prince. Over the years, select mermaids from the royal bloodline have been trained as spies to work for the reigning kings and queens, keeping the collection safe from sirens and humans. Celena and her partner, Merrick, work covertly for the royals--not even her twin brother knows. When they discover the sirens have broken through the barriers the mer set up to keep the sirens out, Celena and her friends must race to the old kingdom of Metten to stop them from starting a war within their borders. When she's dragged to the surface, Celena realizes that the war above the waters is as deadly as the one below the waves--and sacrificing herself may be the only way to protect her family. The Siren Wars have only just begun.

When the girl with the golden hair is betrayed, no one has hope of surviving. The stories say that Goldilocks ran away, but being forced over the wall and separated from the man she cares for was hardly her choice. Now, uncertain if any of her friends survived the brutal attack, Auluria must work with her former handler, Shadoe, and raise a new army to invade the Society and take back that which is hers: Dov Baer, his family, their friends, and their freedom. She's willing to do whatever it takes, but this time, it's not herdeception that will cause everyone in her world to burn. Allegiances are changing, and at any moment, anyone in her world could destroy her.

Before Lowell sent Auluria on a mission for his master plan of destruction, before Shadoe trained her to be a vicious and deceptive fighter, before she ever met Dov Baer and his family, Auluria was a young girl merely trying to survive. Once she is brought into Lowell’s fold after the death of her aunt, Auluria is placed under the supervision of Shadoe, a cruel and careless mentor. She must learn to fight to further her cousin’s mission to destroy the Society that persecutes their own people. As her training continues, she finds herself in growingly dangerous situations, all leading to her greatest mission yet: to destroy Dov and Berwyn Baer and become the deceptive fighter Lowell has made her to be.

When the girl with the golden hair manipulates betrayal, her people may be given their only hope of surviving. The stories say the Goldilocks stepped into the Baers’ roles, only finding her perfect fit at the end, but they never said what she would have to go through to discover where she belonged or that she would have to step away from everyone’s plans for her life in order to create her own and save her people from the Society. Having found a stronghold amongst the soldiers trying to end them, the Baers will use their hold over Magistrate Canton to control the Society and free their people—if Shadoe’s hunger for power doesn’t destroy them all and cause their plans to crumble. As Dov and Auluria race to the Camps to free the young men and women being held here in hopes of finding new allies for their ongoing war, they uncover just how deep the Society’s hold is on their country. In their greatest battle yet, Goldilocks and the three Baers will have to fight for the fate of an entire country, bringing down the corrupt government, deciding who is friend or foe, and toppling the Wall in the fight for their freedom, but no one will make it out unscathed—if they make it out at all. When allegiances align and battle lines are drawn, her destruction might be the only thing to save them all.
