About this listen

SWAN SONG–A story of love, friendship, betrayal, redemption and survival…

Set on a lake in the sub-tropical paradise of Australia’s Gold Coast, Hugh and Serena have reigned as the swan king and queen for many years. But the idyllic setting hides the danger facing all the creatures of the lake–lurking below the water’s surface are the predatory eels, always ready to snatch at the vulnerable and unwary.

The colorful 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 her parent’s last born–and therefore heir to the kingdom. But Serena’s best friend, a cheeky white immigrant duck called Lord Quacksalot, knows better…

When the ambitious Isis finally spreads her wings and becomes airborne for the first time, she is thrilled with her newfound freedom and power. But she is soon brought down to earth, when her parents inform her that she now has to leave the lake–as is the way of swans. Hugh and Serena sweeten the blow by telling a crestfallen Isis that she will become queen of a new territory. Reluctantly, Isis leaves the lake–but vows revenge.

With Isis gone, Hugh and Serena celebrate the arrival of Prince, their last hatchling and the heir apparent. But before Prince is old enough to fly, Isis returns with the evil Hannibal. Hugh is too old, and Prince is too young, to challenge such a strong and tyrannical swan.

The serenity of the lake is shattered, and the kingdom is devastated, as beloved lives are lost. Hannibal's atrocities force Serena and Prince to flee, and the other animals to rise in revolt. It doesn’t take long for Isis to realize she’s made a terrible mistake... It takes all of Serena’s guile and experience, with the help of all the animals of the kingdom working together, to defeat Hannibal and restore the sanctity of the lake for all the creatures who live there.
