Drown Me with Dreams

Ages 14 to 18

In book two of this seductive YA fantasy duology, a siren must decide if saving her kingdom is worth betraying the boy she loves.

Saoirse Sorkova is the most wanted fugitive in Keirdre. To help her escape imprisonment, the newly-crowned King Hayes asks her to cross the magical barrier that separates Keirdre from its enemies, in hopes of bringing the barrier down and creating a more just society.

But the legacies of hate and corruption in Kierdre are hard to dismantle. As Hayes is forced to make compromises and Saoirse uncovers plots that threaten the entire kingdom, she starts to wonder if Hayes will really be able to bring about the change he’s promised.

Soon, Saoirse is forced to question: What if Hayes isn’t the best future for Keirdre? And if he’s not…is she willing to turn against him?

In this propulsive sequel full of romance and twists, Burton questions whether broken systems can change or whether they need to be destroyed.
