Annotation
A new series returns to the world of Beautiful Creatures. Some loves are cursed... others are dangerous.
Ridley Duchannes will be the first to tell you that she's a bad girl. She's Dark. She's a Siren. You can never trust her, or even yourself when she's around. Lucky for her, Wesley "Link" Lincoln can never seem to remember that; quarter Incubus or not, his heart is Mortal when it comes to Ridley. When Link heads to New York City to start a music career, Ridley goes along for the ride-and she has her own reasons. As if leaving small-town Gatlin for the big city, trying to form a band, and surviving life with a partially reformed Siren isn't hard enough already, Link soon learns he has a price on his head that no Caster or Mortal can ever pay.
Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthors of Beautiful Creatures, are back and casting another magical spell. Their signature mixture of mystery, suspense, and romance, along with a dash of fun and danger, will pull fans in and leave them begging for more.

For Link and Ridley, because we knew there was more to their story—and for our readers, because they asked to read it.
Odi et amo.
Quare id faciam, fortasse requiris? Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior.I hate and I love. You ask why I do this?
I do not know, but I feel and I am tormented.
BEFORE
There are only two kinds of Mortals in the backwater town of Gatlin, South Carolina—the stupid and the stuck. At least, that’s what they say.
As if there are other kinds of Mortals anywhere else.
Luckily, there’s only one kind of Siren, no matter where you go in this world or the Otherworld.
Stuck, no.
Stuck-
Stupid?
It’s all a matter of perspective. Here’s mine: I’ve been called a lot of things, but what I really am is a survivor—and while there are more than a few stupid Sirens, there are zero stupid survivors.
