Beneath the Curse of Six
She’d waited ten long years to return home.
Nothing could have prepared her for what home had become.
Princess Eliza came to the cottage in the woods when she was only six to heal from a childhood illness. Since then, she’s been preparing to be the princess her people need with only her six rowdy brothers for company. One by one, her father has called the oldest home. But when he finally responds to her letters, it’s to ask her to stay another year. Eliza’s hopes crumble. Will she ever be enough to return home?
That same night, a mysterious intruder attacks their cottage, and Eliza's brothers are trapped in a terrible curse, transforming them into swans by day, humans by night. Rushed back to the winter castle she barely remembers, Eliza finds herself on her own for the first time in her life. The loving father she knew is now secretive and distant. The courtiers all seem to have their own agendas. And Eliza struggles to play the role of princess while hiding the truth about her missing brothers.
When her stepmother arrives with an obvious vendetta, things get even more complicated. Eliza must decide whether to remain the frightened girl she's always been or risk everything to uncover the truth behind the curse and save her brothers…and discover what really happened ten years ago.
