The Savage and the Swan

by Ella Fields
The Savage and the Swan by Ella Fields
Unrated

USA Today bestselling author, Ella Fields, delivers a heart-wrenching tale of impossible yet unstoppable love in this all-new standalone enemies to lovers fantasy romance.

The king of wolves was more beast than man, more tyrant than king, and so much more than he seemed.
Raised to avenge his murdered parents, he’d been trained and conditioned until nothing but violence and hatred lined the walls of his dead heart.

For nearly four years, I’d done all I could to help my kingdom as we faced the wolf king’s unconquerable evil—hardly anything at all.
As the only heir to the Gracewood line, I’d been relegated to menial tasks that would keep me and my secrets safe.

A chance to do more than fret behind our castle walls arrived when I breached them after overhearing my parents’ plans for my future. Fleeing, I unknowingly raced into a fate we’d all desperately hoped to avoid.

By the time I saw him coming, it was far too late. For my family. For my kingdom.
For my heart.
Before I could staunch the bleeding, the king had me under his giant paw, and one wrong move after another caused those razor-sharp claws to sink deeper and deeper beneath my bruised skin.

I might have been trapped, naïve, and furious, but I still had a kingdom to save—and a plan.
Yet when we collided, the bloodshed, the fear, his atrocities... all of it dissolved like stardust upon the night sea.

The stars had mapped out our destiny, but it didn’t matter what they or my heart wanted.
I refused to see the enigmatic male, the heartless lost boy with a soul beneath the flesh of a monster.
The savage king who’d destroyed everything I loved would fall—even if my heart fell with him.

Loosely inspired by Hades and Persephone, Rumpelstiltskin, and The Swan Princess, The Savage and the Swan is not connected to any other Ella Fields novel. It’s a full-length standalone romantic fantasy containing adult material.

Ella Fields

In Ella Fields’ novels, love rarely arrives gently. It storms in, tangled with rivalry, dangerous loyalties, and emotions that refuse to behave. Readers who open one of her books quickly learn that romance, in her hands, is not simply about falling in love, it is about surviving it.

An Australian author who rose to prominence through independent publishing, Fields built her readership by writing the kind of emotionally charged romance that lingers long after the final chapter. Her early contemporary and new adult novels, including Suddenly Forbidden and Pretty Venom, introduced readers to her trademark style, intense relationships, flawed characters, and stories where heartbreak and devotion often walk side by side. Instead of tidy romantic arcs, her books explore jealousy, longing, betrayal, and the fragile moments where love might either heal or destroy.

As her career evolved, Fields began weaving those same emotional stakes into fantasy romance. In novels such as The Savage and the Swan, Kingdom of Villains, and The Wolf and the Wildflower, she creates lush worlds of fae courts, uneasy alliances, and dangerous magic, while keeping the focus firmly on the volatile pull between her characters. Her Deadly Divine duet, beginning with Nectar of the Wicked and continuing with Wrath of the Damned, further cemented her place in the fast-growing romantasy genre, pairing dark fantasy intrigue with fiercely passionate relationships.

That blend of sweeping fantasy and emotionally intense romance has helped her books reach international bestseller lists, including the USA Today and Sunday Times. Yet what keeps readers returning is not just the settings or plot twists, it is the sense that anything might happen once her characters give in to their feelings.

Away from the page, Fields lives in Australia with her husband, children, and a lively collection of animals. The quiet moments of family life often stand in amusing contrast to the turbulent worlds she writes about. Still, the themes that run through her novels remain the same, love that is complicated, risky, and powerful enough to reshape the lives of everyone involved.
