A cursed song. A witch out of his depth. A love that could end in destruction...

Nerion:
My voice heals and ruins in the same breath. I’m a siren and every note is a hook, every melody draws promises from mortals that think they mean it until silence steals it back. I’ve watched their eyes clear, their vows dissolve, and my heart fracture in the aftermath. So I sing alone. I
stay alone.

Until he finds me.

Thoedore Voss—witch, varsity swimmer, and future valedictorian. He catches me singing in the academy pool after hours and doesn’t flinch, doesn’t fall glassy-eyed. He listens. He chooses me, and says we should be together.

But my kind bears a deeper curse than a dangerous song. Once a siren gives their heart, it cannot be taken back. If our lover’s affection fades… we fade with it''into seafoam and memory. I have been hurt before. If I’m wrong about him, it will be the last mistake I ever make.

Teddy:
I swim to outpace expectations—family legacy, coven politics, a coach who says champions don’t get distracted, and parents who think marriage has nothing to do with love. To please them all I must keep the grades perfect, keep the times sharp, and keep the feelings locked down.


Then I hear him.

Nerion’s voice doesn’t cloud my mind; it clears it. What I feel is not a spell—it’s the first honest thing in my life. But convincing a siren who has been drowning in false love to trust me might be the hardest race I’ll ever swim. The team watches. My family warns. The coven whispers about the siren’s song and threatens my future after Widdershins.

I could live with losing a race or my family’s name. But I cannot lose him.

Undertow is a haunting, fated-mates romance of music, doubt, and devotion—where one man must prove his love is stronger than any song, and the other must risk a curse that turns broken hearts to seafoam. Perfect for readers who crave forbidden heat, aching stakes, dark academy romance, and a love that pulls you under and refuses to let go.
