A Song of Saints and Swans

According to legend, swans sing most beautifully before they die.

As shifter royalty and the next in line to lead my clan, I believed I was invincible. Until my mother disappeared without a trace and I learned my entire existence was a lie.

My fate was sealed when the last of my power was stolen by human men. From that day forward, I buried the life I’d been born into, along with any humanity I had left.

Until all that remained was pure animal rage.

When the past arrives with twin promises of winter’s death and spring’s renewal, I’m given the chance to reclaim the life I was destined for.

The question is—how badly do I want it?

Enough to be reborn from the ashes? Or should I allow my fate to sing its final swan song?
