Ironheart by Alessa Thorn

Once upon a time, a sorcerer trapped a swan princess in a tower and she waited for a prince to save her…this isn’t the story you know.

‘The Swan Princess’ meets ‘Gargoyles’ in this brand new series that’s full of sinister magic, warring gods, and scorching romance.

Zori has spent her entire life knowing she could die at any moment from a rare brain disease. Protected by Maxim, her doctor and guardian, she watches the world pass her by. That is, until one night her loneliness forces her to escape her tower and she has a most unexpected encounter.
Gargoyles were created to protect the swan priestesses of Morana. When Vladik stumbles across an unknown swan priestess, he has no idea what to do. Not only does Zori believe she’s a normal human, but her guardian isn’t who he appears to be.
Vladik knows he must save Zori from her prison, but neither one of them will be ready for the power running through Zori’s veins or the war that is about to be fought over her. Vladik’s duty is to protect, but he will soon learn that the love between him and Zori will be the most powerful weapon of all.
