After his wife's untimely death, a powerful sorcerer dedicates his life to seeking revenge against all womankind. He turns his captives into beautiful swans--who briefly regain human form by the fleeting light of the moon. Only Odette, noblest of the enchanted flock, has the courage to confront her captor. But can she gain the allies she needs to free herself and the other swan-maidens from their magical slavery? A monumental tale of loyalty and betrayal, of magic good and evil, of love both carnal and pure, and of the duality of human nature, The Black Swan is a rich tapestry which is sure to become an all-time masterpiece of fantasy.

Another book I don't know what to think about.
It's a retelling of the ballet, and that story is somewhat stupid. Mercedes manages to keep the spirit of the ballet, there are scenes that are written from the ballet, I can see the scene in my mind. :-D
This is written from Odile's POV.
Mercedes also wrote a different end to the story. I am not too happy about that. So, Odile kills her father, and moves to live in Odette's household, stripping the wizard's mansion and gave everything away. Or most of it, anyway. It felt forced.
So, people die, happily ever after! YAY!
