The Sirens of Sayhurn by Keith Pyeatt follows different characters whose lives connect through a strange song that crosses between Earth and a hidden world called Sayhurn. Clayton, a humble maintenance man trying to rebuild his life, moves into a house with a bizarre tune coming from the basement. At the same time, Wade, a consultant with a complicated marriage, is secretly traveling to Sayhurn through the call of a Siren named Ayanna. Sayhurn depends on men from Earth to keep its population alive, but the system begins to break down as Ayanna acts on her own desires and Wade brings danger into the world. Erin, Wade’s wife, becomes drawn into the mystery as her marriage falls apart. With both worlds becoming unstable, how far will this secret connection spread, and who will be changed by it?

The Sirens of Sayhurn by Keith Pyeatt blends fantasy with real emotional struggles in a way that will draw you into the story. The narrative shifts beautifully between everyday life on Earth and the magical world of Sayhurn. Both settings help explore themes like desire and loneliness. The writing feels natural and engrossing. I thought the storyline was well-built, and it gives you enough time to get to know the characters and understand their lives. The mix of supernatural events and moral conflict calls to mind fantasy books where the magical elements reveal people's true nature. The author’s approach to addiction and desire is intentional and candid, which adds to its impact. I truly enjoyed reading it. If you're a fan of modern fantasy, this slow-building mystery story will hit the spot.
