The Wild Swan Trilogy, penned by Celeste De Blasis, is a captivating series that takes readers on a sweeping journey through the tumultuous years of the French Revolution and its aftermath. This historical fiction series, comprised of "The Wild Swans," "The Enchanted," and "The Dolphin and the Star," is a rich and intricate tapestry of love, loss, and loyalty, set against the backdrop of one of the most transformative periods in human history. "The Wild Swans" introduces us to the d'Aubrey family, a once-prominent French aristocratic family who find themselves struggling to maintain their status and survive in the face of the gathering storm of revolution. As the world they have always known begins to crumble around them, the d'Aubrey siblings - the fiery and independent Isabelle, the dashing and gallant Alexandre, and the gentle and compassionate Margot - must navigate the treacherous waters of a society in turmoil, and forge their own paths in a world that is rapidly changing. "The Enchanted" continues the story of the d'Aubrey siblings, as they each grapple with the consequences of the choices they have made, and the new realities they must face. As the revolution gives way to the Reign of Terror, the lines between friend and foe become increasingly blurred, and the d'Aubreys must rely on their wits, their courage, and their love for one another to see them through the darkest of times. In "The Dolphin and the Star," the series reaches its thrilling conclusion, as the surviving d'Aubrey siblings find themselves drawn together once more, in a final, desperate bid to reclaim their birthright and restore their family's honor. As they navigate the treacherous waters of post-revolutionary France, they will be forced to confront their deepest fears, their most cherished hopes, and the true meaning of loyalty and love. Celeste De Blasis' Wild Swan Trilogy is a masterful work of historical fiction, filled with unforgettable characters, lush descriptions, and heart-pounding suspense. Fans of authors such as Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, and Ken Follett will be captivated by this sweeping saga of love, loss, and redemption, and will be left eagerly awaiting the next installment in this unforgettable series.
