Shield Maiden

Her silence was her armour. Her heart, her greatest danger. ISLA SNOW has known only captivity—years hidden away in a government stronghold where loneliness became her companion and survival her art. Yet even in the darkest corners of that prison, the truth finds her: she has never been alone. Her brief spark of hope is extinguished when she is returned to the Atlanteans and placed in the custody of MALLEVEN MANCINI—a man forged from secrets, ambition, and a magnetic darkness she has never been able to resist. In a world of decadent power and ruthless politics, Isla is once again a commodity—something to be used, traded, or sacrificed. The kingdom hovers on the edge of revolution, governments are moving like pieces on a board, and Isla finds herself at the centre of a prophecy she never asked for. But fate bows to no one… unless she forces its hand. To claim her freedom—and her heart—Isla must risk everything she has ever guarded. Including the truth about the one man she has always loved. "Fall seven times, rise eight." A Siren's strength isn't her song. It's her heart. Her mind. Her blood. SHIELD MAIDEN is the powerful third instalment in the 21st Century Sirens series, where destiny collides with desire and one woman must choose between survival and the love that could destroy her.
