The Siren's Tale (Home Schooling Trilogy #2)
Author: Anne Carlisle
Description:
It’s 1900 in remote Wyoming, where a
smart young siren in human form falls into a trap. Because of a curse,
her lover may die if she acts on her passionate instincts.
The novel is
a new take on speculative fiction, treating real coming-of-age issues
of choice for modern young women and meanwhile weaving a cautionary tale
of paranormal romance and terror set in the distant past.
This is the
story of a group of sirens, told in part by the ghost of the main
character, Cassandra. The sirens are creatures who are part human but
who have strange powers and skills. Cassandra’s love life in the Old
West results in a curse which passes down the generations.
A family of paranormal women, an ancient
lineage of sirens in human form, are threatened by extinction, unless
Marlena, the youngest, carries her pregnancy to term in 1977. Cassandra,
the siren ghost, tells Marlena her own story, how back in 1900 in
Wyoming, she followed her passion rather than a code of human values.
Falling into a trap, she brought on the family curse and disaster. Now
the men loved by the sirens face an untimely end.
