Synopsis

Sometimes, even when you’re not looking for it, love finds you anyway.

Princess Odette of Lebed has been secretly betrothed to Crown Prince Roland for nearly three years, as a marriage of alliance. On the eve of their engagement ball, the evil sorcerer, Rothbart, kidnaps Odette in retribution of an old grudge against her father. Cursed to be a swan by day and human only at night, Odette fears she’ll never be free, for only true love’s kiss can break her spell, and she’s never been in love.

Prince Drystan of Tameron has been tasked by his father to find a bride. Tired of the women who value his title over him, he’s decided to go in search of his own prospects. Traveling incognito, his plans are soon derailed when he’s captured and cursed by Rothbart. While secluded with Rothbart’s other prisoners, Drystan is determined to help everyone break their curse.

Prince Roland of Divan has been searching for Odette ever since she was kidnapped three months ago. No one else thinks she’s still alive, but he refuses to give up hope of finding the beautiful princess promised to him. While out hunting, he stumbles across a hidden castle and finds more than just Odette being held captive there. Is there more going on behind Odette’s abduction than he previously thought?

Can Odette follow in her parents’ footsteps and learn to love before it’s too late? Or will she be forced to live this half-life forever?
