Synopsis
The Siren Depths is the third novel in The Books of the Raksura series. Moon has at last found a place among the Raksura after a lifetime as a solitary wanderer, but his standing in the Indigo Cloud court is thrown into question when a rival court asserts a claim on him, and his relationship with sister queen Jade grows uncertain as a result. Forced to travel in the company of strangers to a distant court, Moon is confronted with unresolved questions about his origins and the family he never knew, even as an old enemy of the Raksura reappears. The novel follows Moon's attempt to hold on to the sense of belonging he has only just found while the truth about his past finally comes within reach.
