The Swan Princess (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | C P Lesley | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In the two years since the events that propelled Nasan Kolycheva into marriage to a Russian nobleman, life has become intolerable. She spends every waking minute learning the skills of household management under the lash of her sister-in-law's tongue and the cloud of her mother-in-law's perpetual disappointment while pining for her husband, stationed in the western borderlands to ward off foreign invaders. When Nasan's mother-in-law decides that a pilgrimage to a distant monastery may be the only solution for her failing heart, the journey sparks memories in Nasan of a life she has almost forgotten, where her interests and skills serve a purpose lost to her in Moscow. What can a Swan Princess do when she no longer wants to return to the nest? Before Nasan can answer that question, she encounters a once-vanquished foe determined to avenge himself on those he blames for his misfortunes-and realizes she has ridden right into his trap.
