A prince in disguise.

A healer in hiding.

A princess under a terrible curse.

The queen is on a rampage. For seventeen years she’s outlawed magic and executed any sorcerers she can find. But now her only daughter has disappeared in the Dark Forest, captured by an infamous sorcerer.

Determined to rescue his betrothed, Prince Siegfried disguises himself as a commoner and blunders into the Dark Forest with little more than a quiver of arrows and a charming smile. But instead of finding the princess, Siegfried discovers Dilla, a girl with forbidden magic.

Dilla has spent her life hiding from the queen and healing her village neighbors with methods both magical and mundane; she has too much at stake to be distracted by the handsome stranger in her forest. But now she is the only witness of the curse that befell the princess, doomed to transform into a swan by day. What’s more, Dilla’s magic might be the spoiled and friendless princess’s only hope of becoming human again. But how can Dilla risk using her power to help the daughter of the very queen that drove her into hiding in the first place?

 With the threat of execution circling Dilla’s neck and heartbreak waiting for the prince, she and Siegfried must race against the clock to break the curse. If they can’t, no healing magic will be enough to stop their kingdoms from plunging into war.
