Sing Me to Sleep

The Cruel Prince meets To Kill a Kingdom in this seductive YA fantasy debut, in which a siren must choose between protecting her family and following her heart in a prejudiced kingdom where her existence is illegal.

Saoirse Sorkova survives on secrets.

That she is a siren and her existence is a crime.

That she cannot always control her deadly powers.

That she does not hate the handsome, thoughtful Prince Hayes, whose father would put her to death.

But when Saoirse and Hayes are forced to work together to hunt a killer, Saoirse's secrets are brought dangerously close to the light. Because Saoirse is the killer, and it's a only matter of time before Hayes finds out . . .

Review

Everything about Burton's debut is razor-sharp: the writing, the tension, the twists, the action, the romance, and, of course, its heroine Saoirse herself. The magical yet treacherous Kingdom of Keirdre is an alluring backdrop for this story of deceit and deception, where no one and nothing is to be trusted - not even your own heart ― Natasha Ngan, New York Times bestselling author of Girls of Paper and Fire

A thoroughly enchanting debut. Once you pick this book up, there's no putting it down again. Saoirse's story will capture your heart and consume your imagination, every bit as captivating as the siren song inside its pages. Run, don't walk towards this one; Sing Me to Sleep is the perfect YA fantasy ― Kate Dylan, author of Mindwalker

A dark and sweeping fantasy, that--like a siren song--will pull you in from the very first page ― Alechia Dow, author of The Sound of Stars

Burton pens a darkly enchanting fantasy that brims with siren magic, political intrigue, and the most swoon-worthy romance that will, undoubtedly, leave you begging for the next book in the series. Perfect for readers who crave a compelling, high stakes plot from start to finish, sharp-witted characters you can't help but root for, and at its heart, a beautifully flawed, morally gray heroine willing to go to great lengths to save the people she loves. Sing Me To Sleep is as thrilling as it is seductive ― Deborah Falaye, author of Blood Scion

Snappy dialogue, unpredictable plot twists, skillful worldbuilding, strong characterization, and steamy, sensual tension between Saoirse and the prince create an immersive tale with an empowering social justice tone centering a predominantly Black and brown cast ― Kirkus Starred Review
