When the sea calls, it never lets go.
New Orleans, 1864 - Sirene, a gifted young dressmaker, dreams of the sea's freedom. When she marries the charismatic Captain Ambrose Deveraux, she believes she's found a life of adventure and love. But her dream quickly rots into a waking nightmare of control, betrayal, and violence.
Trapped on a voyage home, Sirene meets Solomon, a steady-handed young sailor whose quiet faith offers her hope of escape. Yet desperation drives her into the path of a mysterious woman promising freedom... for a price.
What follows is a storm, a betrayal beyond imagining, and a transformation into something no longer human. With her skin gone cold and her voice turned deadly, Sirene rises from the depths to hunt the men who wronged her - until one voice cuts through the bloodlust, offering the only thing she thought lost forever: redemption.
Blending Gothic romance, maritime superstition, and a thread of divine grace, The Lullaby of the Drowned Wife is a haunting novella about vengeance, choice, and the light that can still reach the deepest dark.
