Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Day introduces the League of the Black Swan--and the dangerous game one woman plays when her family's curse dooms her to kill the man she loves--in this thrilling novella. A thousand years ago, Brynn Caroll's ancestor was cursed: every third night, the eldest daughter of each generation is transformed into a black swan and forced to sing songs to the moon. When she meets the love of her life and bears him a daughter, the legacy is passed on to the next generation. Intent on ending the curse once and for all, Brynn refuses to fall in love. But she never anticipated meeting Sean O'Malley--a man who is also burdened by a difficult secret--and facing temptation like never before. Previously published in Enthralled.
