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 that's only the beginning. 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.
He lives for one thing: hunting the woman who slaughtered his clan. Then he finds Morgan—a girl with no memory of her past who frightens even his dragon. He swore he’d avenge the dead. He never expected the living to give him a reason not to.

A Swan Dark is a YA fantasy inspired by swan maiden folklore, with dragon bonds, morally gray choices, and transformation that costs everything.

Currently in edits—coming soon.

She can't remember. He can't forget.
