Katharina Gerlach

Royal Swans Katharina Gerlach

Once upon a time in a world where magic and technology collide with unexpected consequences...



When neighboring royals visit the kingdom, Prince Laurent declines the princess' advances with dire consequences. Turned into swans, he and his brothers flee, followed by their sister in a flying machine. But then, they crash-land on a cemetery. Can they regain their humanity before the enraged princess catches up with them? And what about the strange ghost Laurent feels drawn to?



What if the Hans Christian Andersen overlooked "The Seven Swans" part in breaking the curse?
