Siren in stories, the French one (7)
I believe the answer is:
lorelei
'siren' is the definition.
(Lorelei is an example)
'stories the french one' is the wordplay.
'stories' becomes 'lore' (I've seen this in other clues).
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'lore'+'le'+'i'='LORELEI'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for lorelei that I've seen before include "Legendary siren who lured Rhine boatmen to destruction" , "Bloody singer" , "Legendary German siren who lured boatmen to destruction" , "Fatal attraction" , "alluring female" .)
