The Wild Swans
by K. Shea · Timeless Fairy Tales #02 · February 24, 2018
Elise is the foster-daughter of the King of Arcainia, a mathematician, and the country's treasurer. She is not a hero. But when her step-mother, a wicked witch, curses Elise's seven foster-brothers-the princes of Arcainia-and turns them into swans, Elise is the only one who can save them. To break the curse, she must knit seven shirts made of stinging nettles, but there's a catch. She has to complete the shirts without uttering a word, and if she doesn't finish the task, Arcainia and her foster-brothers will be lost. THE WILD SWANS is a retelling of the German Six Swans fairytale and the Dutch Wild Swans fairytale. It is a story of humor, love, adventure, and magic, and it is part of the top selling Timeless Fairy Tales series-a series comprised of loosely related adaptations of your favorite fairytales. All Timeless Fairy Tales take place in the same world and can be read all together, or as individual, stand-alone books

Chelsea K — 4.5/5
This was my second book by K.M. Shea and I really enjoyed her Retelling of Wild Swans and all the characters in this story. It can be read as a standalone although I do plan to read more books in the series to find out what happens with some of the other characters who have their own books in the series. I really liked the fact that at the end this book has two different epilogues allowing the reader to decide which of the two different love interests Elise ends up with and I read and enjoyed both.
