Lucienne Lam, born to rule as the last of the Sirens, is running out of time. If she fails to find the TimeDust, an ancient power, her enemies will have their wish—her head on a spike. And she’ll never know the love promised by Vladimir, a fierce warrior of the Czech royal bloodline. Except Ashburn, a genius ‘farm boy,’ has found the TimeDust first, and its power binds Lucienne to him. She must convince him to sever this forced bond so she can return to her first love. But breaking the link seems insurmountable when the TimeDust launches its own ominous agenda and the two boys prepare to duel to the death over her. less

Some love dies. Some never does. The Sealers have activated an ancient weapon Nexus Tear. Lucienne must destroy it before it terminates her. But Prince Vladimir, her first love and strongest ally, has joined forces with her enemies over the one kiss she shared with Ashburn--the kiss that is denied to him by the Siren curse.

And instead of killing each other, Ashburn and Prince Vladimir must put their differences aside to save her. But one of them has to make a sacrifice. As the nation of Sphinxes is born, the Sealers rise again... moreSome love dies. Some never does.
