Description
An enthralling sapphic retelling of Swan Lake, for fans of Allison Saft and V.E Schwab.
A captivating story by the New York Times bestselling author of Where the Dark Stands Still.
Magic has long been outlawed in Aureal. Odile has always known she'd be the one to restore it.
Raised by a sorcerer, Odile has spent years preparing for the heist of a lifetime. It's perfectly simple—impersonate a princess, infiltrate the palace, steal the enchanted crown and restore magic to the kingdom.
But when the King is unexpectedly murdered, she's forced to recruit the help of Marie, the real princess, and the two begin to unravel a web of lies and deceit that leaves Odile uncertain of whom to trust.
Soon though, Odile must decide—her mission or the girl she's falling for?
The fate of the Kingdom depends on her making the right choice...

About the Author
A. B. Poranek grew up sharing her time between Ontario, Canada and rural Poland, and eventually completed a veterinary degree at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. A lover of mythology and history, she enjoys exploring both in her writing. Her debut novel, Where the Dark Stands Still, an instant New York Times bestseller, is an ode to Poland's folktales, while A Treachery of Swans transports readers to a world inspired by 17th century France.
