A fabulous fairy-tale mashup that deserves hordes of avid readers. Absolutely delectable.  Kirkus Reviews, starred review of award-winning series debut Enchanted.

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 Sunday's palace, she takes one look at Tristan and knows he is her future. But the brothers are cursed to be swans by day. Can Friday's unique magic somehow break the spell?
