"Marriott notes Andersen's 'The Wild Swans' as her inspiration, but the novel is entirely her own, full of narrative power and magic." — BOOKLIST
When Alexandra's mother is slain by an unnatural beast, shadows fall on the once-lush kingdom. Too soon the widowed king is entranced by a cunning stranger — and in one chilling moment Alexandra's beloved brothers disappear, and she is banished to a barren land. Rich in visual detail, sparked by a formidable evil, and sweetened with familial and romantic love, here is the tale of a girl who discovers powerful healing gifts — and the courage to use them to save her ailing kingdom.
Joe and Gram grow a garden, with the help of the good brown earth.

The Swan Kingdom
I don't know the whole swan retelling so I can't judge the book and state whether or not the book did a good job at retelling it.
Despite its flaws, I really enjoyed this book.
Reasons to read:
-It's a YA fantasy stand alone.
-Likeable and flawed MC: Alexandra is described as plain, ugly, and bland. She's not a normal pretty princess.
-Very fast paced.
-Cute romance: Though there isn't much romance development, it was still likeable.
-Magic.
-Evil step-mom.
-Heroine doesn't lust after the love interest so much and she mostly focuses on saving her Kingdom and brothers.
It just had me hooked
There was a slight problem I had with the book.
Things seemed to be jumping all over the place. If one event took place, some other scene would happen.
Other than that it was an enjoyable read. Definitely recommended.
