Cursebreaker (Chronicles of the Deep Book 1): A Swan Lake retelling

By: Sydney Hunt

A cursed princess. A crippled kingdom. A bloody family secret. When Gwenna is denied a Blessing of Beauty at her birth, breaking centuries of royal tradition, the consensus is that she's cursed. A royal life without beauty is manageable. But when Gwenna is discovered with magical glowing hands standing over the king's corpse, she begins to second-guess. Her curse is spreading. First, killing the king, then conjuring a devastating storm that dries up all the water in the kingdom overnight and leaves behind a crippling heat. The only way to find answers about her curse is to confront the magical beings who cursed her as a baby. But the Fairies have disappeared. When a deadly Shifter appears to Gwenna and hints at having the answers she needs, she is forced to choose. Gwenna is willing to be kidnapped by a murderer if that's what it takes. But she is unprepared for the bloody family secrets she will uncover. Cursebreaker is the first in a series of fairy tale retellings. Loosely based on Swan Lake and inspired by the movie Swan Princess, this cozy fantasy is perfect for fans of Gail Carson Levine, Shannon Hale, and Marissa Meyer. As this is the first book in a series of five planned novels, the romance budding in this book will bloom in further books.
