2019, 1998: Sisters separated by centuries. Voices that can’t be drowned out
The Sirens
What you need to know before your trail
Lucy is running from what she’s done – and what someone did to her.
There’s only one person who might understand: her sister Jess. But when Lucy arrives at her sister’s desolate cliff-top house, Jess is gone.
Lucy is now alone, in a strange town steeped in rumour. Stories of men disappearing without a trace. A foundling discovered in a sea-swept cave. And women’s voices murmuring on the waves…
As Lucy searches for her sister, those voices get ever louder. They tell of two sisters, two centuries ago, bound and transported across the world. A world where men always get their way. A world that is at once distant, and achingly familiar.
Are these voices luring Lucy closer to her sister? Or will the secrets of the past pull them both under?

Travel Guide
New South Wales
The Comber Bay in the book is fictional but the author was inspired by the very real Batemans Bay which is stunning!
The author note mentions the many convicts who were transported out to NSW in Australia. They were put to work to create a new penal colony.
The First Australians, Aboriginal and Thames Strait Islander peoples had lived on this land for many years before the convict ships arrived and the author pays homage to them.
