Swanya

In seventeenth-century Russia, Tsar Alexei’s rambunctious, headstrong daughter has a tendency to scare off potential stepmothers. When at last the Majordomo delivers a candidate of sufficient maturity, the new tsarina is slow to produce a male heir. Will the two women be each other’s salvation or demise? Or are they fated to be pawns in the games of men?

Delivered with wit and dusted with magic, this retelling of the classic Snow White is in turns light as a feather, brittle as an eggshell, and elegant as a swan.
