Dragon Lake: A Swan Lake Retelling

Written by R. L. Davennor

Narrated by Allyson Voller

One more kill—and then I’m free.

If only it were that simple.

Ancient curses call for desperate measures, and to escape mine, I’ve become a murderer. But ‘freedom’ trades one chain for another, and I’ll be damned if I’m marrying that filthy sorcerer.

Unfortunately, a girl who turns into a dragon doesn’t have many options. Even if I did, who could love a monster?

Certainly not the prince in front of me.

The handsome prince in front of me—who I’m meant to kill.

Could my last target be my final chance?

Dragon Lake is the classic fairytale like you’ve never read it before. Containing graphic violence, adult language, sexual situations, and suicide mentions, this 11.5k word dark retelling isn’t for the faint of heart.

R. L. Davennor

Raelynn Davennor has been creating and discovering fantastical worlds for as long as she can remember—often getting scolded for reading while her teachers were talking. As both an author and composer of music, Raelynn utilizes her creations in her fictional worlds full of darkness, dragons, and sassy heroines. She’s made appearances with artists such as The Who, Weird Al, and Hugh Jackman, and performed on many of the largest stages in the United States. Her inspiration takes no mercy on her despite her busy schedule.Even when completing the most mundane tasks, Raelynn is usually lost in her head, flying across the sea on the back of a dragon or humming a tune she can't wait to scribble down. In her little remaining free time, she enjoys pampering her menagerie of pets and pretending she isn’t an adult.
