A cozy, cottage-core Regency fantasy perfect for fans of Bridgerton

Elena, having lost her father, must rescue herself from her evil stepmother, a Master of Water, who has bespelled her brothers into swans. She is left without home or protection by her father's villainous widow, who plans to regain her wealth by selling Elena to the highest bidder.

Alone, Elena must not only find a way to save herself, but to reverse the spell that has transformed her brothers.

The latest in Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Masters series is a standalone romantasy based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Wild Swans.

As usual Lackey spins a fantastic tale. Unfortunately, it was slower to start and ended very abruptly. It’s like she suddenly ran into a deadline and tossed a few words together to tie up the story. It left me feeling like I had a delicious appetizer, excellent salad, and a delightful dinner, but when the desert tray came around, it was only empty plates.

Wonderful story. Rushed ending.

I love this whole series. Each book is better than the last and this one lived up to its previous books.

Excellent.as usual
