The Dragon Swan Princess

The Dragon Swan Princess is the second book in the Twisted Ever After series by Tamara Grantham, the award-winning author of more than a dozen books and novellas.

Odette Von Alarissa is a prisoner, her captivity the result of a decades-old war between the dragon shifters and the witches.  But there has been a recent change in her ownership.  Xaldain Von Rothbart, the traitor responsible for starting the war, is her captor now.  A dragon-shifter just like Odette, Xaldain has plans for her that are unimaginable—but with a magical mark on her shoulder that prevents her escape, and the survival of her people hanging in the balance—she has no real choice but to comply. 

Drekken Von Fiddlestrum has returned to his homeland to find himself in an unhappy quandary.  To save his kingdom, he must marry a noble – yet he has no desire to do so.  When he crosses paths with Odette, he agrees to help her. But as their feelings for each other grow, it can only lead to destruction for them both.  Drekken must marry for duty, and Odette must consent to Xaldain if she wants her people to survive.  True love and obligation collide in this compelling retelling of the classic Swan Princess story.

Tamara Grantham was born and raised in Southeast Texas. She comes from a family of writers. She took her first writing class from her uncle Larry Franklin, who worked as an author and literary agent at the time. In 2013, she signed her first contract with former writing mentor, and New York Times-bestselling author, William Bernhardt, to contribute to his Shine series. The novellas are about young girls with unusual abilities. In November 2014, almost four years to the day that she finished her first book, she signed with Crimson Tree Publishing (the adult imprint of Clean Teen Publishing) for her novel Dreamthief.

While she’s not writing, and sometimes while she is, she raises four (soon to be five!) beautiful children, ages one to ten. She lives in Galveston, Texas with her husband and kids, one cat and one dog. Her husband David is her biggest support. For the past ten years he has been in training to become a surgeon. She frequently picks his brain for the sake of her stories, a habit she hopes he’ll forgive.
