Lynette never asked to be a swan. While her sisters love the grace and beauty the moon and their swan-feather cloaks bestow upon them, Lynette would like nothing more than to be free. But her Maman's grip is too tight to escape, and even if she could, the moon's magic is not willing to let her slip away.
Luckily for Lynette, Wylan is willing to trade. His older brother escaped from their abusive father, but he left Wylan behind. So when Wylan spies a swan become a girl cloaked in silver feathers, he doesn't hesitate. But no matter how hard he tries, it will take more than borrowed feathers to make him a swan.
The moon demands a sacrifice, and it will be paid in blood.
