The Siren and the Manticore

**This is a Dark Fantasy with a long list of triggers. Consider yourself warned. ** Two beings out of myth find their fates intersecting in the steamy heat of Prohibition-Era New Orleans. Over a century has passed since the haunting strains of a siren song have terrified and enticed sailors. In defiance of this, Cahira is a siren, one who is drawn to the ocean but walks on land. On the run, she travels the country as a nightclub singer. Now her past has caught up with her, and she has nowhere left to run. Gabriel is a magical hybrid. By the laws of nature, he shouldn’t exist. He has lived for centuries, moving from one war to the next as a mercenary. Never one to turn his back on someone in a tight spot, he comes to Cahira’s aid. Unexpectedly colliding with his own past. A sizzling attraction sparks between the two as the fight for survival begins. Racing time, they must unravel the mystery of Cahira’s existence and the riddle of an ancient prophecy. If they fail, it might not be them who pay the price.
