Across the top, a black-and-white photo of a young woman with disheveled hair and a single glowing silver eye. In the lower left corner, a blurry photo of light reflecting off a wet city street. To the lower right, a woman with bloody hands clutching a bloody knife. 

Diagonally, the tagline reads: "How far would you go to get revenge?"

At the bottom, smaller text reads:

"A jaded rookie superhero 
A mysterious vigilante on a one-man crusade
And a quest for vengeance that will push them to the edge"

Meet the Main Characters of SIRENSONG ELLIE

Art of a woman with short, wavy brunette hair wearing a black leather jacket, a tshirt and jeans, with silver glowing eyes. 

Sharp-tongued and disillusioned, hating the system and her job within it, she stumbled into her mind control powers by accident - but now they might be the only way to find the man who tore her family apart. 

Only, vigilantism is harder than it looks, and as the crime and corruption of Emerald City threatens her most steadfast relationships, she's also got to contend with her all-consuming need for revenge and those pesky unexpected feelings for a vigilante with plenty of secrets of his own. 

Fun Facts:
Full name: Eleanor Diana Montgomery 
Lives on a diet of caffeine and inner rage
Can play guitar
Her short temper often gets her in trouble 

Song: Sympathy Magic, Florence and the Machine
THE SHADOW OF EMERALD CITY 

Art of a muscular, blond man wearing intricate black armor. His face is half covered by a black, fanged mask. 

His mission is simple: end the corruption rotting at the top of Emerald City, one greedy billionaire at a time. Bring justice for the disadvantaged and the unheard. Make sure nothing gets in his way - not even himself. 

But then he meets a stubborn, fearless new superhero who slowly begins to get past his broody exterior, sparring match by sparring match. Problem is, his identity is a massive secret lurking  beneath the surface, and uncovering it may threaten the very mission he's dedicated his life to. 

Fun facts:
Full name: scratched out, says NO. 
Looks like he could kill you, could actually kill you
Mostly fluent in half a dozen languages 
Has a soft spot for cats (and girls who aren't afraid of him)

Song: Dust Bowl Dance, Mumford and Sons
THEO

Art of a man with shaggy brunette hair, gold eyes, and a humorous smile. He is wearing a blue windbreaker with gold buttons, a button down shirt, and khaki pants. 

Full of sunshine, optimism, and deeply repressed trauma, he tries to live life on the brighter side - he has to, or else. Filled with a need to help people, he wants to keep everyone safe while bringing the man who tore his own family apart to justice. 

Not even his teleportation is enough to keep her from leaping into danger on his behalf, and he can't do anything but watch as new relationships put her in a brand new kind of danger. Between his morals, his goals, and his family, something has to give eventually - something not even he can outrun. 

Fun Facts:
Full name: Theodore Apollo Montgomery 
Just as chaotic as his sister, but better at hiding it
Can play drums
Inner core of steel 

Song: I'm Still Here (Jim's Version) by John Rzeznik

Secret-IdentiOPENING LINE
The last day of life as I knew it began with a thunderstorm.

The rain slammed the pavement in sheets, creating a dark, slick look that reminded me of spilled oil. It drummed against the windows, a fuzzy background static that blended well with the sickly gray tint of the sky. It was mid-day but it looked like dusk, and on the one hand I was never happier to be in a dry, warm car.

On the other hand, I had never hated my job more as I stared through the rain at the skyscraper looming ahead.
