The Drowned Siren

Eleanor Sanders’ friends are dead. Everyone knows that. But the exact circumstances of their deaths… she’ll take that to the grave.

She was driven by success. Now, she’s driven by obsession.

After years of being viewed as plain and boring, university student Eleanor is thrilled when the beautiful Cheyenne notices her and starts showering her with attention. Soon, the lines between friendship and love become blurred, at least for Eleanor. Until she realises that Cheyenne’s love isn’t unconditional …

Years later, Eleanor’s life has changed completely. After moving to LA to pursue her dreams, she now lives mostly in isolation. Her days are spent locked up in her hotel suite, dreaming up revenge fantasies.

As her past and present collide, Eleanor is forced to ask the question she dreads most: what happens when your darkest fantasies become reality?"A pacy dark academia about obsessive young love and the choices we make to get what we want. A talented debut."
