The Muted Swan

F'd Up Fairytales Once upon a time, Elsa Swanson lived a charmed life, tucked away with her six brothers. When her father remarries, the children are thrilled to meet their stepmother. That is until they discover witches do exist in the world. A curse took her brothers from her and she must knit nettles into sweaters without making a sound until all are complete. Duke King is a med student with an empire being handed to him. When his father chooses to extend their property to an untouched forest, they discover a woman living alone who only communicates with her eyes and gentle touches. The aspiring doctor first sees a patient, but as each day passes, he falls in love with the determined woman. Elsa had forgotten the touch of another and had never known the feel of a man. So close to saving her brothers, the witch has returned now and is using manipulation to make Duke question Elsa's sanity. Can Elsa stay true to her brothers or will her growing desires to know Duke cause her to break her vows?
