Logline: Shadows have fallen across the beautiful Kingdom, Alexandra's home. Her mother, the Queen, has been attacked in the forest by an unnatural beast, and none of Alexandra's healing skills can save her. Her father is spell-bound by a frightening stranger whose eyes reflect no light. When her beloved brothers vanish and Alexandra is exiled to a strange land, it seems there is little hope for her, or her home. But Alex has more gifts than even she realises, and she is not ready to give up yet... Based on the classic fairy-tale The Wild Swans, The Swan Kingdom explores the themes and adventures of the Hans Christian Anderson story. With elements of Celtic mythology and ideas from British and Japanese folklore, this debut novel stirs magic, romance and adventure into a heady mixture which will appeal to fans of Tamora Pierce, Robin McKinley and Sherwood Smith (age 10 and up).
