Joint Book Review: Princess of the Wild Swans by D.Spotlight List: More Historical Fantasy on My TBR.2012 Debuts: Two Must-Read Historical Fantasy Authors.The Historical Fantasy Jubilee comes to an end.A pleasant magical outing.”Ī suspenseful climax leads to a happy conclusion. “As with her other fairy-tale interpretations, Zahler shines in her ability to set an exquisite scene.” “Fans of Jessica Day George and Gail Carson Levine will enjoy Zahler’s light, lyrical prose, as well as her stalwart and true heroine and strong secondary characters, all of which make this fairly straightforward retelling of Grimm’s “The Six Swans” fun to read.” If she completes it, her brothers may be saved.

With help from her newfound friends Riona and Liam-a beautiful half-witch and her clever brother-Meriel vows to finish a seemingly impossible task. If Heart Lake freezes, her brothers will be forced to fly south or perish. Meriel will do whatever it takes to rescue her beloved brothers. They now swim forlornly on a beautiful heart-shaped lake that lies just beyond the castle walls. An evil enchantment cast by their conniving new stepmother has transformed the handsome princes into swans. Princess Meriel’s brothers have been cursed. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Wild Swans,” this enchanting fantasy by Diane Zahler, author of The Thirteenth Princess and A True Princess, is a tale of family, bravery.
