Where Sirens Sing

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. "Where Sirens Sing" by Shealyn Hermann is a captivating fantasy adventure that introduces Captain Helen, a pragmatic and unconventional leader of the vessel Fell Duchess. Initially skeptical of supernatural tales, Helen finds her beliefs challenged when her ship encounters an eerie, bell-like sound in the Northern Sea. Her first mate, James, attributes the sound to a mermaid, a claim Helen dismisses until a massive whale attack forces a dramatic turn of events. During the whale attack, the mysterious sound intervenes, causing the whale to crash into rocks and die. A small, silver-haired woman, later identified as Kya Ri, emerges from the water, humming the same eerie melody. James immediately identifies her as a siren, but Helen, intrigued by Kya Ri's actions, invites her aboard, much to James's dismay and the crew's apprehension. Kya Ri, despite her initial difficulty with human language, quickly learns to communicate, revealing a childlike innocence and a unique perspective on the world. The narrative escalates when a massive, unseen creature, later identified as a Kraken, attacks the ship. Kya Ri's siren song, initially a tool for luring, becomes a weapon and a means of communication, revealing the Kraken's nature and intentions to Helen. The story culminates in a desperate battle against the Kraken, where Helen, James, and the crew fight alongside Kya Ri, highlighting themes of trust, prejudice, and the unexpected alliances formed in the face of overwhelming danger. The story also subtly weaves in Helen's past, hinting at a deep connection to the ocean and a mother who shared her love for its mysteries. Duration - 1h 54m. Author - Shealyn Hermann.
