Jump in A king gets hopelessly lost in a massive, dark forest. To find his way out, he is forced to make a terrible deal with a witch and marry her strange daughter. The king is terrified that his new queen will harm the seven beautiful children from his first marriage, so he hides his six sons and one daughter in a secret, magical castle. Why it pulls you in The evil new queen uses dark magic to track the children down. She sneaks into the forest and throws enchanted shirts over the six boys, instantly transforming them into swans. The boys fly away, leaving their little sister entirely alone. She discovers that she can break the spell, but the cost is incredibly high. What you will discover To turn her brothers back into humans, the girl must spend six years without speaking a single word or making a sound. During those silent years, she must gather sharp starflowers and sew six magical shirts. Even when she becomes a queen herself and faces terrifying accusations, she cannot speak to defend her own life.
