A dangerous royal court. A woman determined to reclaim what was taken from her. In A Snake Among Swans, Hannah Kaner reimagines the dark fairy tale of The Wild Swans through the eyes of the woman at its center, weaving together forbidden magic, political intrigue, sapphic yearning, and a fierce hunger for revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Vibe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTilde is the last surviving heir to a conquered kingdom, carrying the whispers of her ancestors and the mysterious kithwood with her. To unite two nations and end the bloodshed, she enters a marriage with the aging King Liran, stepping directly into a court where her very presence threatens the established order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swan King's court is a nest of competing loyalties. Liran's older sons see Tilde as a threat, his daughter Elise has spent her life devoted to her family, and powerful priests hold influence over them all. As Tilde navigates this treacherous world, her own ambitions and alliances remain close to the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark, atmospheric, and richly political, this is a fantasy of wild magic, female rage, vengeance, and power. The romance brings a simmering sapphic tension to a story where love and loyalty can be just as dangerous as magic. Readers who love intricate court politics, morally complicated characters, fairy-tale retellings, and epic fantasy with a romantic edge will find plenty to devour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTropes \u0026amp; Tags\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphic fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFairy-tale retelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark fantasy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCourt intrigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForbidden magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarring kingdoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild magic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale rage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyal marriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompeting loyalties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplex family dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphic yearning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorally complicated characters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower and ambition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by The Wild Swans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBooks in Series (In Order)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Snake Among Swans, \u003cstrong\u003e#1\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wing and the Ways\u003c\/strong\u003e is an announced fantasy trilogy, and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Snake Among Swans\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eis officially identified as Book One.
