Duty above all and for all.
Thyra has put her wants aside for 22 years. Nonetheless, life as a wolf-shifter in Däcia's idyllic Birch Valley is good: she will Union with a kind man, become Pack Alpha, and finally change the archaic rules that govern her people.
But when disaster strikes at the Union and Thyra can't find the culprit, she is forced to go on a Spring Tour of the surrounding villages to find a new mate. If she can let go of her love-torn heart, she may find the perfect counterpart in Skärda, the aloof future Lord of Silver Lake.
I stare into the distance and imagine two futures - one where we hide and one where we stand strong. Only one of them leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Skärda spends half the year in Silver Lake and the other half on the breeze. As a swan shifter, Skärda is charged with protecting Däcia's last remaining swan flock. After the magic goes awry and the flock is seen by a scout from Mohlenberg Mountains - where lives a power-hungry family who wants to rule over all of Däcia - Skärda must decide whether Silver Lake will fight on their own or join forces with the Birch Valley pack. But can a swan trust a wolf?
As forces from the west draw closer, Thyra and Skärda must contend with the fact that the enemy is closer than they think and that allies can come from the unlikeliest places.
When Wolves Sing with Swans is Book 1 of the Birch & Stone Series.
