Escape of the Swan Maiden: A Swan Princess Retelling (The Truth of the Stones)

Once upon a time there dwelled in the Otherworld, a princess, who upon being transformed into a swan by a most troublesome spell, was destined to roam the earth until called home by her true name. And like ripples in a pond, her fate would be intertwined with those of her royal lineage living in the waking world: There's many a legend, I dare say, of Celtic origin, to this very day! Mystery and beauty haunt these tales, from the shores of Mersey to that of Wales! And yet, one alone shall not be dismissed! The fairy-tale of the Swan Princess! A spell was cast for all of time, that she be changed into a swan. To roam the earth, evermore, unless true love hath called her forth! Anything less would surely fail. Other attempts, to no avail! Caught between the worlds, she roams, yearning always for hearth and home! What shall bring her back again? Impassioned calls of love without end!
