INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK - #1 LibraryReads Pick - Indie Next Pick
A spellbinding novel about sisters separated by centuries, but bound together by the sea, from the author of the runaway New York Times bestseller Weyward
2019: Lucy awakens from a dream to find her hands around her ex-lover's throat. Horrified, she flees to her older sister's house on the Australian coast, hoping she can help explain the strangely vivid nightmare that preceded the attack--but Jess is nowhere to be found.
"Full of allure and brimming with undercurrents of buried secrets... The Sirens is beautifully written and utterly compelling." --Evie Woods, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lost Bookshop
"The Sirens is an absolutely immersive, utterly captivating puzzle box of a novel, both gripping and heart-wrenching. Hart is a gorgeously emotive storyteller." --Ellery Lloyd, New York Times bestselling author "Evocative and compelling, The Sirens is a deeply layered mystery, and a luminous ode to the sea and sisterhood. Written with Emila Hart's assured and shimmering prose, the story is as hopeful as it is heart-wrenching." --Lucy Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Girls "I absolutely adored this powerful, beguiling novel, steeped in magic, mystery and the wild forces of the ocean. A testament to the unbreakable bond of sisterhood and the eerie echoes of history, it weaved its way into my heart and lingered long after the last page. So vivid, Emilia Hart must have saltwater running through her veins." --Lizzie Pook, author of Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter "Emilia Hart takes the reader on a mythical journey through time, evoking ancient tales of the sea and female bonds that are tested but never broken. The Sirens surprises and delights and allows us as readers to imagine a world where myth and reality collide. A beautiful and propulsive story full of love and intrigue. A remarkable read!" --Amanda Peters, bestselling author of The Berry Pickers "Enthralling, compelling, poignant." --Bridget Collins, #1 internationally bestselling author of The Binding "What a gorgeous book this is. Wistful, haunting, drenched in seaweed and a frothy tide, a beautiful story about sisterhood and the ocean. I just loved it." --CJ Cooke, author of The Lighthouse Witches "The Sirens teems with family secrets, eerie dreams, and deep transformation. A compelling tale of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the sea, this is a beautiful follow-up to Hart's sensational debut, Weyward. The Sirens will sweep you away." --Sarah Penner, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary "Absolutely wonderful. It's a profoundly moving and rich historical story wrapped up in a contemporary murder mystery. I was transported by Mary and Eliza's terrible journey and delighted by the well-earned ending to the modern tale, too - justice served" --Rosie Andrews, author of The Leviathan "Emilia Hart's storytelling is powerfully chameleonic: smart, propulsive, familiar, otherworldly, and deeply evocative. Reading her work is to be reminded that at any time we choose, we can take agency of our own lives, and how powerful our voices can be when we use them to claim that agency." --Holly Ringwald, internationally bestselling author Praise for Weyward "Powerful." --New York Times Book Review
