"You don't get to decide who I am, Jaguar. Fuck off."
"I'll love you even after your blood coats my hands."
Raised in an orphanage that treated her like a monster long before she knew what she truly was, Dawn has one clue to her past: a crumpled birth certificate naming T.I. Silva— Grym City's most feared crime boss—as her father. Determined to get answers, she tracks him down, only to be dismissed and denied.
But Dawn is a siren, one of the most despised and feared beings in a city built by monsters, and she refuses to be erased twice. As she claims her place in Grym City—in the siren community called Touched, in T.I.'s reluctant orbit, and in the hearts of Johnny "Bloodmoon" Insigne, the werewolf Alpha who sees her when no one else will, Canton the Fae, a tricky thief raised by her father, and Caseum Cinder, a siren son who’s as dangerous as he is obsessed—Dawn will have to survive family betrayal, a citywide siege, and a war for the soul of Grym City itself before she can become the woman the whole city will one day call Madam de Siren.
"A house full of strays."
"No. A house full of laughter and love."
Before the empire, before the family, there was a reckless love story neither of them saw coming. Megara Vegas has spent her whole life fighting for a place in a city that its most powerful man swore didn't exist for someone like her. Tomas "The Jaguar" Silva has never had to answer to anyone—until she makes him. This is the whirlwind, funny, toxic, heartbreaking origin story of the man who built an empire, and the siren who taught him how to love.
