As the handmaidens charged with protecting Proserpina when she was kidnapped, Thelia and her sisters are banished to the island of Scopuli and cursed to live as sirens--winged half-woman, half-bird creatures. In luring sailors to their deaths with an irresistible song, the sisters hope to gain favor from the gods who could free them. But then ships stop coming, and Thelia fears a fate worse than the Underworld. Just as time begins to run out, a voice emerges, Proserpina's voice, and what she asks of Thelia will spark a dangerous quest for their freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNow, Roanoke. \u003c\/b\u003eThelia can't bear to reflect on her last moments in Scopuli.
