Book: The
Siren's Tale
Author: Anne
Carlisle
Synopsis
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.
Blurb/Description:
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.
