An arranged marriage. A deadly secret.
A love that could ruin everything.
As dying magic leaves the fractured kingdom of Serendith on the edge of ruin, Elara Evensong—an overlooked princess determined to prove she is ready to rule—is forced into a deadly bargain: marry the enemy heir who helped invade her palace or condemn her family to death.
Now a prisoner in her own home, Elara must navigate a court of secrets while performing a romance she never chose. Her only hope of escaping her engagement and freeing her family is to turn her captor into an ally.
Caelan Stormrider is a powerful, infuriatingly charming watermage—and the only person who can teach Elara to control the forbidden healing magic awakening inside her. But Caelan is not as free as he seems. Bound to a ruthless father whose ambitions threaten them both, he may be as trapped as she is.
Elara needs his loyalty, not his heart. Yet every secret training session draws them closer, and their political engagement begins to feel dangerously real.
Beneath the silvery glow of the Cygnet Moon, ancient magic stirs and long-forgotten prophecies begin to unfold. As secrets unravel and the line between duty and desire blurs, Elara must decide whether the man she meant to manipulate can be trusted with her power, her kingdom—and her heart.
Loosely inspired by Swan Lake, Under the Cygnet Moon is a fast-paced, dual-POV fantasy romance for fans of the forced marriage and magic of A Deal with the Elf King and the emotionally layered political intrigue of The Bridge Kingdom.
About the Author
Jennifer L Adams writes emotionally rich fantasy filled with flawed heroines, powerful magic, and themes of love, loss, and reclaiming personal power.
Jennifer’s love for storytelling began early—crafting tales on her grandmother’s old computer during summer vacations. Though she set aside that dream to pursue academics and a successful corporate career, earning her MBA and excelling in leadership, the pull to write never fully faded. It wasn’t until becoming a mother that she returned to the page, finding both respite and healing in fiction. Writing became a way to reconnect with her identity—and to fulfill a promise she made to herself as a little girl: to write a book one day.
Now, as a mom to a young daughter, Jennifer hopes to pass on that spirit of dreaming big. She draws inspiration from authors like Kristen Cashore and Sarah J. Maas, whose stories helped reignite her love of reading and writing.
When she’s not writing or spending time with family, Jennifer is likely watching Survivor, snuggling with her dogs, or hosting game night with friends in Phoenix, Arizona. A lifelong lover of puzzles, strategy games, and meaningful stories, she believes that the most powerful journeys often begin with one small spark of belief.
