Readers met the Woodcutter sisters (named after the days of the week) in Enchanted and Hero. In this delightful third book, Alethea Kontis weaves together some fine-feathered fairy tales to focus on Friday Woodcutter, the kind and loving seamstress. When Friday stumbles upon seven sleeping brothers in her sister Sundayâs palace, she takes one look at Tristan and knows heâs her future. But the brothers are cursed to be swans by day. Can Fridayâs unique magic somehow break the spell?
