Witches live only twenty years. They must harvest more time through a ritual involving eating human hearts. One year of life is gained for every year the victim would have lived. Nineteen-year-old Dorian with a secret love for humans must choose between death and betraying her morals.
The second story in the collection is a tale of sirens as they were written by the Greeks; half bird, half woman. Imprisoned by ruthless human soldiers and forced to endure torture in various forms, the remaining population of raptor-like sirens faces the threat of extinction. Wicked humans are a siren’s only prey. With the sirens locked away, crime rates rise exponentially, and peace abandons the earth. Eden, a prisoner for thirteen years, flees her enclosure for her life, only to find herself face-to-face with a soldier on the outside. In a moment of desperation, she takes him prisoner, using him to orchestrate the great release of her kind.
