Can she save the kingdom from her cruel uncle? Who can she trust? An Intriguing fantasy richly woven with magic and duplicitous cast, a flawed but courageous heroine and an unexpected twist. Aderly is a swan who since witnessing her mothers murder can no longer take flight. * Book Trust * Seventeen year old Aderly inherits a kingdom ruled by those who can transform into a bird and flu. There's no swearing (though there is a very tastefully vague sex scene, suitable for young teens) and only occasional (reasonably vivid) violence, but tons of intrigue, mystery, family drama, glamorous gowns and hidden swords.
