Imagine a world where seductive male sirens lure brave heroines to their death, where Icara and her mother fly too close to the sun, and where beautiful men are forced to wed underworld queens...

Karrie and Jonathan love these stories, and have found a way to breathe new life into them by making one crucial change...

You'll be enchanted by the refreshing world this swap creates - and thunderstruck by the new characters you're about to discover.
