The Swan’s Arrow

A book by Holly M. Jenkins
This title released on January 13, 2026
What if the fairy tales you loved as a child were rewritten to become even more horrifying? The Swan’s Arrow is a haunting reimagining of The Swan Princess for readers who crave morally gray heroes, tragic romance, and curses that bite back.
Odette is a princess bound by grief and royal obligation. After losing her mother to a monstrous curse, she’s forced into a political engagement with the one man she despises—Prince Derek, her kingdom’s golden boy with secrets darker than his smile.
Ren is a cursed sorcerer with a past steeped in shadows. Feared by many, hunted by more, he’s the villain in every bedtime story—until one fateful night binds his fate to the very girl who should fear him most.
Two years after a beastly attack that changes everything, Odette and Ren are reunited—this time with a common enemy and a plan for vengeance. But as their bond deepens and the kingdom’s lies begin to unravel, love becomes as dangerous as any curse.
Perfect for fans of Beauty and the Beast and The Witcher, The Swan’s Arrow is a story where love is a weapon, curses breathe, and not all monsters hide in the dark.
