When Jasmyn's husband dies it's bad enough but that's only the beginning of the strangeness that starts up, black swans fall dead into his grave to start with. Jasmyn is an albino, though without some of the light problems some albinos have. She then learns that he has secrets and things spiral out of control. As the story develops there begins to be magic and things happen that can't be explained by rational science. In order to defeat evil this magic has to be embraced and it has costs.
It's an interesting story of swans, fairytales, castles, a magic token and a broken violin. My biggest problem with it was a lack of depth, it didn't quite feel like the characters really felt about what was going on.
