It’s impossible not to read To Kill a Kingdom without drawing comparisons to Disney’s Little Mermaid. Clearly To Kill a Kingdom had my name plastered all over it. So what happens when you combine a sweeping, high-stakes pirate adventure with the Little Mermaid? You get To Kill a Kingdom, a deliciously dark, twisty AF retelling of epic proportions. Another thing I’m 100% trash for is anything even remotely related to the Little Mermaid. At this point, I’m basically pirate trash. If you know anything about me, you’ll know that I’m all about sexy swashbucklers and high seas shenanigans. She promises to help him find the key to destroying all of sirenkind for good-But can he trust her? And just how many deals will Elian have to barter to eliminate mankind’s greatest enemy? When he rescues a drowning woman in the ocean, she’s more than what she appears. Hunting sirens is more than an unsavory hobby-it’s his calling. The ocean is the only place Prince Elian calls home, even though he is heir to the most powerful kingdom in the world. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most-a human. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own.

With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all.
