About this ebook
The beauty of Tchaikovsky's ballet is reimagined in a rich setting of towering trees, vast mountains, and woe-begotten swans.
After abduction by sorcerer von Rothbart, Odette experiences the sensation she's transforming into a swan each day at dawn in a secluded forest with an enchanted lake. In the moonlight, Odette reverts to a human, but her experience by the lake grows increasingly more terrifying as whispers and the image of a woman in a black dress haunt her.
The hidden pieces of Odette manifest as the malevolent Odile, whose ambitions threaten to keep Odette a swan forever. Swanbound thrilled with its twisted bits of magic, psychological complexity, and blurred lines that reflect the dichotomy within us all.

I’ve been telling stories since I knew what stories were. I remember inventing very dramatic plots for my dolls and other toys (most of them involved death) to live out. My first story was The Missing Unicorn, penned at age 6, followed by The Lost Cat, both published in the school library. I’ve been writing since.In second and third grade, I received some awards for short stories I wrote. In fourth grade, I was a part of a writing club where we printed our work into a picture book. Mine was a tale about my dog.At age 11, I formally proclaimed myself a writer. I knew it was my destiny to tell stories. I completed my first novella at age 12.
