"The Siren" Blazes Into Nineveh!

Yesterday, I wrote an amazing scene involving the character codenamed "The Siren." She is a relative of Sandra and one of her deadliest enemies. She is also the right hand of Sandra's archenemy, who is codenamed "The Vigilante." Without giving away too much, the Siren's character is definitely going to allude to the beautiful but evil creatures from "The Odyssey" that led sailors to their deaths with their songs. How that will happen will be revealed when the book comes out.

I don't really have a favorite character per se, but the Siren is definitely one of the strongest ones I have ever developed. As Sandra did in "Daughter of the Seven Seas" (which you can read by following the link under "The Few, The Proud, The Linkworthy!" section) the Siren also reached out to Max. However, the Siren's motives aren't nearly as altruistic. Quite the contrary, she sees all of the evil and sadistic acts that Max commits and thinks that they look fun! Desiring to combine Max's wickedness with her own "fiery spirit", the Siren's sole quest in life is to see if she can outdo the most violent student in all of Nineveh. Her actions eventually forced Sandra to make the decision which would determine whether she would survive her world's deadliest school, or die within its walls.
