An island guarded by a siren... A cult community determined to keep its secrets... A missing woman, and one man's desperate search to find her.

In 1766 mutiny broke out on the slave ship, Meermin, and it stranded on the shores of Struisbaai, South Africa. More than two centuries later, in the same place, a fisherman encountered a siren and received enlightenment...

Following the death of his father, 28-year-old Bartholomew Lorde is now set to succeed him as the leader of the New Earth Fellowship, a cult community on the isolated Strongman Island. But on the evening before his inauguration Bartholomew meets a girl on the mainland ... and falls in love.

But on the night they are set to escape, Alex doesn't show up...

Now Bartholomew is in a dangerous race against time to find out what happened to her. Conflicted between his obsession with Alex and his loyalty to his father's vision, can he trust his own mind? What is real and what is deception? And if he can't find Alex, does he still have the courage and the means to escape the island? Does he still want to?
