Kingdom of Swan & Sword

Olwen, the sword maker's daughter, has just witnessed her husband's murder at the hands of their lover, who is now the new king, driven by jealousy. Fleeing for her life, Olwen finds herself in a foreign land among strangers, without family or her husband to protect her. As she grieves her loss and betrayal, she must hide in the shadows, knowing that every king desires a Cygnus for their royal jewel houses and armories. Her escape has made her a target for any king who seeks to capture her for her rare magic, and her dream of independence in a male-dominated world quickly fades as her life falls apart. Pushed to the limits of what she can endure, Olwen has no choice but to risk making new alliances. She must delve deep and uncover her family's secrets if she ever hopes to take control of her own life. Time is running out as war looms on the horizon, threatening everyone Olwen holds dear. Will the swan rise above it all?
