Book excerpt: Based on Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Snow is a Swan. Although, for some reason, he can think and talk like a human. With no idea who he is or where he comes from, Snow wonders if he really is a swan at all. One day, while exploring the river valley, Snow meets a water nymph called Marine. Distraught over the loss of her mother's magical pearls, she inlists Snow to help her retrieve them from a dangerous shapeshifter. In exchange for his help, she grants Snow the ability to temporarily become a human boy. But there's a catch. He can only change once a day and only from noon until midnight. Hidden somewhere in the town by the river, the shapeshifter seems to have a far more sinister goal in mind. A goal that has something to do with an old legend about a demonic serpent imprisoned inside of a clocktower. Along the way, Snow is aided by Hero, a ballerina intent on learning witchcraft so that she may dance on water.
