The sea took the girl. Time took her name.
In Spanish colonial Guam, Tasi has always been drawn to the ocean. While her mother struggles to prepare her for the responsibilities expected of a young woman, the waves offer a freedom-and a voice-she cannot resist.
When Tasi discovers a black opal conch shell that sings only to her, she is drawn toward an ancient power waiting beyond the reef. Beneath the sea she encounters beauty, wonder, and a mysterious siren whose enchanting presence promises love, belonging, and escape from the world she has always known. But every gift carries a price, and every song demands an answer.
As Tasi slips further into the sea's embrace, her family is left to confront grief, faith, and the painful realization that some losses cannot be reclaimed. Generations later, only a legend remains.
Inspired by Guam's enduring legend of Sirena, The Siren's Daughter is an original work of dark mythic fantasy that explores the bonds between mothers and daughters, the pull between duty and desire, and the enduring power of stories that survive long after names are forgotten.
Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric historical fantasy, Indigenous storytelling, and supernatural fiction rooted in cultural tradition.
