She isn’t alone in her duties, as her Siren sisters are there to share the burden they all have to bear. Kahlen accepts her service and becomes an obedient and dutiful daughter to the Ocean. There will be no memory of her life as a Siren when she returns. 100 years as a Siren, and then she will get a chance to resume the life she lost at peace. Her voice becomes a deadly weapon used to lure stray ships to their deaths at sea to feed the Ocean. To her surprise, the Ocean answers.įrom that moment, Kahlen’s life is not her own. In her last moments, she cries out in desperation to be saved from her fate. Oh and another cool thing about reading The Siren, is that Kiera Cass is a local author! Her newest book The Selection will be published in 2012 by Harper Children's.Kahlen’s world is turned upside down in an instant. (I have a thing about unusual names - Katniss kept me from reading The Hunger Games for a long time. Thankfully Kiera has a name guide on her website with the correct pronunciation. I'm still getting used to the unusual names. I just started reading the first few pages, but I'm really excited to find out where this story takes me. It sounds completely different from anything I've ever read. And as my birthday is right around the corner, I wanted to read it. I received The Siren a couple of years ago for my birthday and have not yet read it.

But when Akinli, a human, enters her world, she can't bring herself to live by the rules anymore. Kahlen has lived by these rules for years now, patiently waiting for the life she can call her own. The same speech has been given hundreds of times to hundreds of beautiful girls who enter the sisterhood of sirens. All you have to give, for now, is obedience and time." I won't lie to you, it can be a lonely existence, but once you are done, you get to live. You can speak to us, and you can always commune with the Ocean, but you are deadly to humans. This means that, in general, you cannot form close bonds with humans. "You must never do anything that might expose our secret.
