A Swan Dark

Seventeen-year-old Morgan is haunted by a week she can’t remember.
Drawn back to the lake where she vanished, she finds a swan maiden waiting—and this time, it won't let her leave. But Morgan's real fear isn't the magic. It's what she might discover if she remembers.

Kehl is bound to the last dragon.
He lives for one thing: hunting the woman who slaughtered his clan. Then he finds Morgan—a girl with no memory of her past and a mysterious connection to his dragon. He swore he’d avenge the dead. He never expected the living to give him a reason not to.

A Swan Dark is a dual-POV YA fantasy of swan maiden folklore, dragon bonds, and morally gray choices—where transformation costs everything.

Currently in edits—coming soon.
