A Swan Dark
Seventeen-year-old Morgan is haunted by a week she can’t remember.
Drawn back to the lake where she vanished, she finds a swan maiden waiting—and this time, it won't let her leave. But Morgan's real fear isn't the magic. It's what she might discover if she remembers.
Kehl is bound to the last dragon.
Hunting the force that destroyed his clan, he's pulled into an ancient curse—and the girl at its center.
A Swan Dark is a dual-POV YA fantasy of swan maiden folklore, dragon bonds, and morally gray choices—where transformation costs everything.
