Description
A uniquely evocative novel of two eras, two outcasts, two journeys…
Nominated for a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature and featuring a new foreword by the author.
From the Old World: England, 1689: Banished from her father’s house, Lady Eliza Grey’s one wish is to find her long-lost brothers. She does, only to discover them enslaved by a strange and terrible magic. Now, caught in a fairy tale turned real, she vows to break the spell and free those she loves — even though her loyalty may cost Eliza her life …
To a New World: New York, 1981: Banished from his father’s house, Elias Latham’s one wish is to find acceptance. He does, only to discover his new family and friends falling prey to a dreadful and mysterious plague. Now, caught in a nightmare turned real, Elias vows to stand beside those he loves — even though his faithfulness may cost him his life …
Two struggles. Two curses. Two tales. One truth. The Wild Swans.
