This story is based around a siren named Kahlen. She “works” for the ocean, and owes her a certain amount of years before she can leave and lead a “normal” life. She is constantly sad because she is aware of the fact that she is sacrificing lives to the ocean, but then she meets a boy. Although she cannot speak to him, he still finds her interesting. I found this book extremely interesting, and couldn’t put it down! I think people who enjoyed the Selection series or enjoy reading fantasy would love this book.
