Tony Roberts is a British author of fantasy books popularly known for his Katie Long & Siren, Chronicles of Kastania, and Chronicles of Faerowyn series.

Siren

Siren is the first book in Katie Long & Siren series. In this first book, we meet Katie Long, a woman from a musical family. Her dad was a guitarist in the 60s working with a covers band, and her mother was a singer. Katie’s brother was a guitarist, it was like a talent to him, and Katie looked upon him wishing that she could be as good as he was. She would practice in her room, write songs, and expand her repertoire for she inherited her mother’s voice and her father’s gift with the guitar.

But her deep desire for music was a way to shield against her introverted manner and shyness, and a series of allergies she suffered from. All these problems made her feel alone and friendless. Even worse, she was also bullied at school, and this made her more withdrawn from other students at the school. She confided into her personal world of music and wished and dreamed that one day she’d become a rock star- but this seemed to be an impossible dream.
Then a series of unconnected incidents on her 15th birthday sparked a series of events that put Katie on the path of becoming a rock star she always wanted. But if she was to achieve her dream, she would have to overcome her bullies, her shyness and prejudice, all which would test her sheer determination to the fullest.
