description: Rowenna Winthrop has always known theres magic within her. But though she hears voices on the wind and possesses unusual talents her mother Mairead believes Rowenna lacks discipline and refuses to teach her the craft that keeps their Scottish village safe. When Mairead dies a sinister death it seems Rowennas one chance to grow into her power has passed. Then on a fateful storm-tossed night Rowenna rescues a handsome stranger named Gawen from a shipwreck and her mother miraculously returns from the dead. Or so it appears.This resurrected Mairead is nothing like the old one: to hide her new and monstrous nature she turns Rowennas brothers and Gawen into swans and robs Rowenna of her voice. Forced to flee Rowenna travels to the city of Inverness to find a way to break the curse. But monsters take many forms and in Inverness Rowenna is soon caught in a web of strangers who want to use her raw magic for their own gain. If she wishes to save herself and the people she loves most Rowenna will have to take her fate into her own hands and unlock the power that has evaded her for so long.Content warnings are available via the author's website.
