When Laya is tempted by a group of young outsiders, Liba knows it’s up to her to protect her sister and, if necessary, call on the swan people to defend her and her sister from whatever lurks in the woods. These changes start to manifest as each sister’s feelings for each other, boys, tradition and temptation collide. Liba inherited her father’s bearlike shape and dark features Laya has her mother’s swanlike beauty and light hair.
Both of their parents are shape-shifters-and so are they. When Liba and Laya’s parents leave to visit a dying relative several towns away, they tell the girls two massive secrets. Odd noises and rumors of wandering strangers suddenly make life in the woods a little less welcoming. But for sisters Liba and Laya, who live in the forest outside of town, things aren’t quite as idyllic as they seem. Pious and cheerful villagers bustle about in the snow, going to market and celebrating shabbas together. At first glance, the town of Dubossary might appear to be a simple Jewish town at the edge of the woods.
