The Syren's Mutiny
The Seas of Caladhan have never been safe for a woman...
The warning had never rang more true for Brigid, who, as a fifteen year old stowaway, was tossed into the sea by the ruthless sailors she'd sought passage from. Left to die at the hands of the sea, no one expected the sea to show her mercy instead.
Transformed into a syren at the hands of the ocean's goddess, Brigid joins the band of bloodthirsty women intent on making themselves be the things in the ocean that sailors feared.
Caelum has spent his entire life spurning the reputation his father had built. After years suffering the cruelty of the pirate captain, saving others from a similar fate was ingrained in him. For every evil deed his father carries out, Caelum is there, following him in an ever raging attempt to stop him.
When Caelum is thrown into the seas by unforeseen forces, he comes face to face with a girl from his past. One he'd thought long dead by his father's own hands.
Shocked to see a familiar face among the wreckage of their latest target, Brigid makes a split second decision to save Caelum rather than let the syrens drown him. Her actions don't go unnoticed though, and she's forced to make an impossible choice: leave behind the syrens and the home she'd built for herself, or prove her loyalty and kill the only man who'd ever shown her kindness.
But there's a darkness lurking on the seas Brigid and Caelum both call home, and the consequences of their choices will catch up to them sooner than anyone realizes.
And they have no idea how intertwined their stories truly are.
The Syren's Mutiny is the first book in a slow-burn new adult fantasy romance duology, pulling you into a Celtic mythology inspired world of do-good pirates, bloodthirsty syrens, and action-packed adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Dive beneath the seas of Caladhan and discover your next romantic fantasy read! This book does end in a cliffhanger, but the duology is complete, so grab The Captain's Revenge too!

Ratings and reviews
DNF at 43% It’s a miracle I made it this far into the book. The writing style is juvenile and the book reads more like a teen fiction novel the a new adult fantasy. It felt like I was reading the first draft before any editing rather than the final published draft. The internal dialogue was incredibly repetitive and monotonous The characters were incredibly flat and one dimensional and their supposed trauma didn’t warrant their actions especially in the FMC. I’m not usually a fan of the use of trauma for shock value but in this case I found that for me personally both the MMC and FMC trauma and resulting anger wasn’t believable. Overall I’m disappointed that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would and it’ll be the last time I take an Instagram book recommendation for a while.
