2012 Global Ebook Award Finalist! Based on the Irish tale of “The Fate of the Children of Lir,” SwanSong is the story of a jealous half-Tslyddi woman who curses her four Wolleni stepchildren to 900 years as swans. But the curse goes awry and the children are only partially transformed. Worse, they must spend 900 years in their new shapes, in ever more wild and isolated places — and they have no guarantee they will ever be normal again. SwanSong tells how Neeve, Kennet, Corwin and Kyl cope with their transformed bodies in a land where magic is dying.
SwanSong, the young adult fantasy novel by Lynne Cantwell, is available from Amazon.com, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble and most online retailers.
When Constable Ned Parker is summoned to a hot cornfield one morning in the small Texas community of Center Springs to examine the remains of a tortured bird dog, he finds a dark presence in their quiet community. Ned is usually confident when it comes to handling moonshiners, drunks and domestic disputes. But the animal atrocities turn to murder, and the investigation spins beyond the old man’s abilities. Ned combines forces with John Washington, the almost mythical black deputy sheriff from nearby Chisum, to track down a murderer who is rapidly becoming a threat to his own family.
