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?
---The Yaga's Riders universe is based on the folklore of Baba Yaga, and other Slavic tales, with many-often ridiculous-creative liberties taken. All books in the series feature a love-is-love mentality and heroines (and heroes) who never have to choose.
**There are MAJOR SPOILERS ahead if you have not read The Yaga's Riders trilogy.**
Please note: A Song of Saints & Swans is a NOVELLA, meaning the main story is slightly shorter than a full-length novel. However, please enjoy the TWO bonus tales included: From the Depths (originally published in the Into the Woods monster anthology) and It's Just a Bunch of Va Ju-Ju Voodoo: A Yaga's Riders Halloween Special. Margo & Konstantin from the Into the Woods monster romance anthology will make an appearance as side characters.
