A story of love, friendship, treachery and betrayal…
SYNOPSIS
Hugh and Serena have reigned as the Swan King and Queen over a vast lake in a sub-tropical paradise on the Gold Coast for many years. Although the environment is idyllic, it belies a slimy danger that lurks below the water – predatory eels.
The colourful bunch of characters who live on the lake are all grateful to Hugh for protecting them from the evil of the deep, which impresses Hugh and Serena’s daughter, Isis. As their latest hatched cygnet, Isis assumes she is the last born and therefore heir to the kingdom. Serena’s best friend, a cheeky white immigrant duck called Lord Quacksalot, knows better. ..
When the ambitious young Isis spreads her wings and becomes airborne for the first time, she is thrilled with her newfound power – not realizing the bittersweet consequence. Isis is crestfallen when her parents tell her she has to leave, as is the way of swans. Her parents sweeten the blow by telling her that she will become queen of a new territory. Reluctantly, Isis leaves – but vows revenge.
With Isis gone, Hugh and Serena celebrate the arrival of Prince, their heir apparent. But before Prince is old enough, Isis returns with the evil swan Hannibal. Hugh is too old, and Prince is too young, to challenge such an enormous and strong swan.
The serenity and sanctuary of the lake are shattered and the kingdom is devastated as beloved lives are lost. It doesn’t take long for Isis to realise she’s made a terrible mistake. It takes Serena’s guile and years of experience, with all the animals of the kingdom working together, to redeem Isis, defeat Hannibal, and restore the sanctity of the lake for all the creatures who live there.
