About this ebook
This "dark and exciting" reimagining of the Swan Lake tale, in which a queen is held captive by a rival king, "radiates girl power" ( Kirkus Reviews).
Ten years ago, King Lorcan of the Dark Kingdom Dorjhalon defeated Queen Evelayn and cut her conduit stone from her. Since then, he has kept her trapped in her swan form. But once a year, Lorcan transforms her back to her Draíolon form and offers a truce. And every year Evelayn refuses—for he requires her to Bind herself to him for life. But now, with an Ancient power bearing down upon them, everything changes. Discovering she need her enemies even more than her allies, Evelayn partners with Lorcan. But how far will this partnership go? Can friendship—perhaps even love—bloom where hatred has taken root?
Sara B. Larson delivers a thrillingly romantic and hauntingly satisfying conclusion to the duology that began with Dark Breaks the Dawn.
