And above water, Prince Elian is known as the fearsome siren killer, more pirate than prince. Princess Lira, an ambitious girl that's next in line to be Sea Queen, has a taste for royal hearts only. Tradition dictates that a siren steals a human heart once every year on their birthday. Sirens aren't beautiful maidens they're monsters and creatures of the deep. It's a savage retelling of the Little Mermaid story, except that sirens and humans are at war and each side aims for genocide. To Kill a Kingdom is a dark fairy tale at its core. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind 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 unsavory 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.
