<b>Roshani Chokshi's sweeping new fantasy standalone brims with cursed love. This is the lush story of the swan and the prince who share a forged desire to become something more - to themselves, and to each other.</b><br/><br/><b>Prince Arris knows that marriage means murder. </b>After poorly wording a wish to a sea witch, all one needs to rule the Isle of Malys is the heart and hand in marriage of the kingdom's heir. Thus, Arris expects that the day of his marriage will be the one of his murdering. His only chance at a long life is finding true and lasting love.<br/><br/>When Arris's parents announce a tournament of brides to compete for the throne, a slew of eligible, lovely and (possibly murderous) bachelorettes make their way to Rathe Castle. But Arris cannot tell who is here out of love for him . . . or lust for power.<br/><br/><b>Until he meets Demelza. </b>As a veritas swan, Demelza's song wrings out the truth. Forced into hiding, Demelza strikes a deal. Arris will provide her with safekeeping in exchange for her truth-telling song to sort through his potential brides.<br/><br/>While Arris is used to dodging death threats and Demelza is accustomed to fighting for her voice to be heard, to survive the tournament of brides requires a different kind of bravery. And perhaps the bravest thing one can do is not merely protect one's life but find the courage to chase a life worth living.<br/><br/><b>Tropes</b><br/>Fairy tale + +<br/>Ballroom dance<br/>Enchantments and spells<br/>Star Crossed romance<br/>Proximity<br/><br/>READERS LOVE <i>THE SWAN'S DAUGHTER</i>!<br/><br/>'<b>Gorgeously whimsical, witty, and laugh-out-loud hilarious</b> fairytale that's a feast for the imaginable might just become your newest obsession!
