Secret of the Sirens — Julia Golding

HIDDEN IN OUR WORLD ARE EXTRAORDINARY CREATURES -- AND THE DANGERS THAT COULD DESTROY THEM FOREVER.

When Connie Lionheart is sent to live with her eccentric aunt by the sea, she's not expecting anything great -- not to make friends with Col, the coolest guy in town, and certainly not to discover that mythical creatures still exist, that an ancient society has protected them for centuries, and that a dark and treacherous force lurks in their midst.

Most of all, she doesn't expect to learn that she has the rarest of talents, greater even than her secret ability to communicate with animals. With Col's help, she could achieve unimaginable power -- and face the terrifying choices that come with it.

SECRET OF THE SIRENS is the first book in The Companions Quartet. This captivating series, like all the best fantasies, will ignite the imaginations and emotions of readers everywhere.
