The Ballad of the Grey Swan

Welcome to Taeliana: a world of magic, high adventure and queer characters!

Jeyreme Corbeau is the put-upon third son of Baron Stefan Corbeau, and the person who handles all the work of ruling the barony that his father doesn't want to do.

When a highwaywoman calling herself the Grey Swan starts robbing merchants on the Barony's trade road, the Baron is finally roused to action and orders Jeyreme to capture her.

What the Baron doesn't know is that his third son is actually a transgender woman... and that to fund her plans to run away with her lover, the innkeeper's daughter Maisie, and to be herself, she's taken up the mantle of the Grey Swan!

When the impatient Baron makes a rash decision that risks the safety of the entire Barony, Jey will need to keep true to herself and find a way to survive the trials ahead of her.

Add in the watching eyes of otherworldly beings, and Jey and Maisie might just survive, but not unchanged...

Welcome to a queer swashbuckling romance, with swordplay, magic, good and evil in conflict, and love trying to triumph over everything.
