Book 1 in the Swanblood duology
Odette Moreau was born to play the perfect daughter. Silent, soft and untouched by the darkness around her.
But behind every graceful movement lies a secret she's burried deep: the night everything changed. The secret that made her dangerous.
When she's forced into an arranged marriage to Nikolai Morozov, the heir of the most powerful mafia in russia. Odette becomes a pawn in a war she barely understands. But Nikolai is more than a cold hearted criminal. He's calculated, unreadable and far more interested in uncovering her secrets than keeping his own.
As their marriage unfolds truths begin to unravel.About her past. About his family.
About the empire they're bound to inherit.
But swans are never just symbols of beauty.
They're fierce. Territorial. And when threatened, they don't just run-they strike.
And Odette?
She's been silent long enough.
