"A Treachery of Swans" by A.B. Poranek
"A Treachery of Swans" by A.B. Poranek
Can two girlsโ€”one enchanted, one the enchantressโ€”save their kingdom and each other? Two hundred years ago, a slighted deity stole the magic from Aurรฉal and vanished without a trace. But seventeen-year-old Odile has a plan. All her life, her father, a vengeful sorcerer, has raised her for one singular task: infiltrate the royal palace and steal the kingโ€™s crown, an artefact with enough power to restore magic. But to enter the palace, she must assume the identity of a noblewoman. She chooses Marie dโ€™Odette: famed for her beauty, a rumored candidate for future queenโ€ฆand Odileโ€™s childhood-friend-turned-sworn-enemy. With her fatherโ€™s help, Odile transforms Marie into a swan and takes her place at court. But when the king is brutally murdered and her own brother is accused, her plans are thrown into chaos. Desperate to free her brother, Odile is forced to team up with none other than elegant, infuriating Marie, the girl she has cursedโ€ฆand the girl she canโ€™t seem to stop thinking about despite her best efforts. To make matters worse, there are whispers that the kingโ€™s murder was not at the hands of man, but beast. Torn between loyalty to her father and her growing feelings for Marie, Odile becomes tangled in a web of treachery and deceit. To save her kingdom, she must find the true path to magicโ€ฆand find the real killer before theyโ€”or itโ€”strikes again.
