The Siren’s Song by Heather Kindt

The shadowy folds of Mo capture both souls and secrets.

Catron’s father intended to scare her with his words. After all, her mother traveled far from home, losing herself to her wayward spirit. But instead of heeding his warning, Catron longs for more than her life as a glass blower’s apprentice. When Dawkin, a member of the King of Mo’s illustrious guard, offers her a place at the Vradian Academy, she willingly accepts.

Fivlon would rather gouge his eyes out with an iron stick than attend the Vradian Academy. Messing around with his friends is a lot more fun than attending school. Following in his father’s footsteps as leader isn’t a priority. Until one of his friends disappears.

At school, Catron and Fivlon face a much larger task than their ethics homework. As students disappear from the academy, they must figure out who is behind it before they become the next victims.

With Azer and Fivlon by her side, she will travel over the mountains to an unknown city to rescue her friend.

Soon a magician from the academy appears to aid in the rescue. Catron is thankful for the help of someone who can use her magical objects, despite the protests of her companions.

But as the magician’s mark, sealed by a fire pact, begins to burn beneath her skin… she wonders if she should have listened to them.
