After his wife's untimely death, a powerful sorcerer dedicates his life to seeking revenge against all womankind. He turns his captives into beautiful swans—who briefly regain human form by the fleeting light of the moon. Only Odette, noblest of the enchanted flock, has the courage to confront her captor. But can she gain the allies she needs to free herself and the other swan-maidens from their magical slavery? A monumental tale of loyalty and betrayal, of magic good and evil, of love both carnal and pure, and of the duality of human nature, The Black Swan is a rich tapestry which is sure to become an all-time masterpiece of fantasy.

The Black Swan
Can I have a little less rape in my novels? The so-called "hero" rapes a bathing gypsy girl and then tries to justify it with the rationale that she ran away rather than hide her nudity. He thought she was being coy. REALLY??? Ok, he had bad dreams after. He tried to be a nicer guy, but I will never endorse a book where the hero is a rapist.
The book was well-written and would have been a much better novel without that scene. It made the hero lose credibility, regardless of his later attempt at reform. He paid off a couple of prostitutes and was patient with people he used to think beneath him. Oh boy...
Near the end of the novel the hero falls in love with the heroine after a 5 minute conversation, but by that point I was no longer engaged. I am a huge fan of Mercedes Lackey so this was very disappointing. I expected more powerful female characters. I expected a hero that I could actually like. The only bright star was the daughter of the sorcerer, Odile, but it is very clear that she would have continued to be a willing participant in her father's schemes if he wasn't such a psychopath.
