A Treachery of Swans

My town recently got a Barnes & Noble so naturally I had to wander around for over an hour before deciding what I wanted to get. I recently got an ad for this book “A Treachery of Swans” by A.B. Poranek. It’s a sapphic take on Swan Lake pairing up Odile x Odette 🦢🤍

I can’t wait to get into it! I’ll post a review when I finish it. My friend and I are going to read it at the same time.
