The Children Of Lir by Michael Scott

A tragic retelling of an Irish legend in which King Lir’s four children are transformed into swans by a jealous stepmother and condemned to wander the seas for centuries, enduring storms, isolation, and the passage of ages; their human voices and bonds of love persist through song and memory until the arrival of a new faith breaks the spell, returning them briefly to human form and underscoring themes of loss, endurance, and the clash between old magic and changing times.
