书籍简介

简介

天鹅之女：新娘、真理与爱情的较量

在这部出自《纽约时报》畅销书作家之手的华丽迷人的小说中，王子的品行取决于他跳动的心脏，少女的品行取决于她的诚实。然而，当爱情与真理纠缠不清时，他们必须找到携手共渡难关的方法，否则将彻底分崩离析。

寻找爱情是一种诅咒……

阿里斯王子深知婚姻意味着谋杀。由于他向海巫许下的一个措辞不当的愿望，统治马利斯岛的只需得到王国继承人的心和手。历史上，这都被字面解读。

因此，阿里斯预感到，在他结婚并被谋杀的第二天，他将像其他先祖一样，变成一棵有知觉的树。他获得长寿的希望，就是找到真爱，并让爱情永恒。当阿里斯的父母宣布举办一场新娘选美大赛，以争夺他的芳心时，一群适婚、美丽动人（或许还心怀叵测）的单身女郎涌向拉特城堡。在金碧辉煌的奥佐拉德洞穴舞会、梦幻般的树木和珍珠鳄鱼动物园漫步、玻璃船上的下午茶时光以及令人神魂颠倒的吻中，阿里斯分不清谁是真心爱他……还是觊觎权力。

直到他遇见了德梅尔扎。

作为一只真理天鹅，德梅尔扎的歌声能吐露真相。被迫隐姓埋名的德梅尔扎与阿里斯达成了一项交易：阿里斯会保护她，而她则用歌声来筛选潜在的新娘。

阿里斯早已习惯躲避死亡威胁，德梅尔扎也习惯于为自己的声音而战，但要想在这场新娘选美大赛中生存下来，她需要的却是另一种勇气。或许，一个人所能做的勇敢的事，不仅仅是保护自己的生命，而是找到勇气去追求值得过的生活。

Summary

The Swan’s Daughter: A Tournament of Brides, Truth, and Love

In this lush and enchanting novel from a New York Times bestselling author, a prince is only as good as his beating heart and a maiden is only as good as her honest word. But when love and the truth become impossibly tangled, the two must figure out how to survive together, or fall completely apart.

To find love is a curse …

Prince Arris knows that marriage means murder. Thanks to a poorly worded wish to a sea witch, all one needs to rule the Isle of Malys is the heart and hand of the kingdom’s heir. Historically, this has been construed quite literally.

Thus, Arris expects that the day after his marriage and murder he will wake up as a sentient tree alongside the rest of his predecessors. His only chance at a long life is finding true and lasting love. When Arris’s parents announce a tournament of brides to compete for his hand and heart, a slew of eligible, lovely and (possibly murderous) bachelorettes make their way to Rathe Castle. Amidst glittering balls in ozorald caves, strolls through menageries of daydream trees and pearl crocodiles, tea time on glass boats and kisses that leave his head spinning, Arris cannot tell who is here out of love for him…or lust for power.

Until he meets Demelza.

As a veritas swan, Demelza’s song wrings out the truth. Forced into hiding, Demelza strikes a deal. Arris will provide her with safekeeping in exchange for her truth-telling song to sort through his potential brides.

While Arris is used to dodging death threats and Demelza is accustomed to fighting for her voice to be heard, to survive the tournament of brides requires a different kind of bravery. And perhaps the bravest thing one can do is not merely protect one’s life, but find the courage to chase a life worth living.
