Swans | Vera Nazarian | Fantasy | Fantasy | eBooks
| The story of a loyal sister forced to remain mute for seven years in order to save her swan brothers from an evil enchantment--while she knits each of them coarse wool shirts--has been found in many folk traditions. Sometimes there are seven brothers, sometimes six, sometimes twelve. Sometimes there is a king who loves her and marries her despite her strange inability to speak. But in all cases the woman has to suffer in silence up until the last moment, and her courage and loyalty are sorely tested. This is another retelling of the legend, darker and more erotic, and with a fantastic twist. [Honorable Mention from Gardner Dozois Year's Best SF, Volume Nineteen] |
