He’s the enemy. Our union is forbidden. That’s why I have to
have him.Liliwen has all she could wish for, yet her
sheltered life as Princess under the Seas leaves her
unfulfilled. She goes rogue and travels to the enemy’s
territory. When she sees him, she knows he’s a rare
specimen. A soldier with many a battle scar. She ought to
flee… but the challenge is on. Can she chisel through his
defenses and seduce the enemy? Even though she risks
losing her heart, or even her life, in the process?

She’s the enemy. I ought to capture the spy and throw her in
the dungeon.

Teaq, as General of Black Isle’s armies, has always led a life
of all work and no play. Being passed over as his younger
brother took the throne left him disgruntled and bitter. All this
changes when he finds a mermaid in the waters surrounding
his territory. Something about her enchants and awakens
feelings in him which he never thought he’d have. A ray of
hope lighting up the darkness in his heart.

Their meeting makes them rethink their allegiances. The war
that has raged between their people, seems nothing more
than a pointless squabble with neither beginning nor end in
sight. But in a world so dangerous and fragile, beauty rarely
lasts. If discovered, their love would spell the end for both of
them.

The Soldier and the Siren is the second installment in Lorelei

Moone’s brand new fantasy romance series, Shifters of

Black Isle. Shifters, magic and relatable characters; set in a

mysterious, distant land, where anything seems possible,

and yet all its inhabitants hold dear could be destroyed in an

instant. One-click now and find out what all the fuss is about!

That was awesome! Man what a book! This is an
extraordinary story. It is so completely well written and
thought through. I could not put it down. I found myself
reading it straight through in one sitting.

This is the second book in the series if you have not read the
first book, do not worry these books can be read as a
standalone. But this review may give away some spoilers as
there is a back story in the book. And it mentions others from
the first few books. I so cannot wait to read the next book

This is Teaq and Liliwin’s story. She is a mermaid and he is
the kings brother and general. Their union is a forbidden
one. As the islanders and the sea folk are at war. But they
cannot seem to stay away from each other. As you know
from the last book she was captured at the end. But this book
takes you back to before that. And we learn of another
prophecy. But the things that happen in this book go to show
there is more to meet the eye about someone. I hated Teaq
in the first book, but this one showed so much more to the
big burly wolf. I hated that dual. But loved that secret the
challengers shared. I so hope they will be fine together in the
next book. I cannot wait till November.

Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book,

when you do; they value your opinions too.

He should have caught her. Of course he should have.

Teaq knew he'd made a mistake, technically. But then why had it felt so right to let her go?

Their little encounter had stayed with him throughout the evening. After she'd left, he made his way back to the longship and sailed back to Black Mountain and the castle he called home. Even knowing that there was no chance she'd lingered around all these hours, he still caught himself scanning the waters for any sign of her.

What a magical being. Such beauty and grace. And yet such naivety.

She'd come to see the birds.

Teaq, just like the rest of his people, had lived with a constant threat of war all his life. The Sea Folk were a fierce enemy who could strike at any moment.

They considered the seas to be their domain. And of course, the Black Isles were surrounded by vast amounts of water, which the Sea Folk sought to dominate.

And then this young woman had come along, and told him she'd arrived on their shores just to see the birds.

Had she never seen birds before? He'd never seen a Mermaid before, so perhaps not. Perhaps they didn't travel like their male counterparts did.

Perhaps she'd run off from her own people to go on a little expedition of her own.

She'd seemed enterprising enough, as well as surprisingly fearless for an unarmed intruder. When she'd reached for him and grazed his arm with her fingers, Teaq had wondered for a moment if that was it. If she was hiding some secret weapon or spell that would turn him to dust at her touch.

But actually, she'd just been curious. How laughable. Laughable and in equal measures adorable as well.

He never thought he'd think this way about one of the enemy, but this Mermaid had seemed completely innocent. As if there was no war. And their people hadn't murdered each other over these rocks in the sea for generations now.

But the inconvenient truth was that they had. And what had occurred earlier on the shores of the Eastern Isle while nobody had been watching was an act of treason on both their parts.

Of course, nobody needed to know that.

Teaq was a man of few words usually. Keeping a secret, even one this big, would not be a problem for him. Hopefully she'd be equally discreet and her people wouldn't be on the warpath as a result of their interaction.

As soon as the ship arrived at the Harbor of Black Mountain, Teaq left the crew to their own devices and headed straight for his chambers in the castle. He didn't even see Broc to announce their arrival, or the report on the outcome of the hunt.

All of that stuff suddenly did not seem important anymore.

Teaq, despite his serious, almost cynical nature, was caught in the Mermaid's spell.

He simply could not forget their meeting, however short.

It wasn't just a passing infatuation either. He knew that he would carry these thoughts with him for the foreseeable future. There would be only one remedy: he had to see her again.

Would he, though?

Would she ever come back?

He himself didn't have any reason to return to the Eastern Isle any time soon, and it wasn't even very far for him. She had travelled all the way from the Deep, where the Sea Folk had made their home.

Unusually, he was feeling optimistic. Something told him that indeed, she would make the effort again. And as long as he made sure he returned to that same spot regularly, and kept any nosy onlookers at bay, they would meet again.
