The River has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar
Another novella of high fantasy by the co-author of "How to Lose the Time War". There are mystic rivers and the borders of fairy and of course a swan. Esther and Ysabel live on the edge of Arcadia. Esther has fallen for Rin a member of the fairy realm but she is also being pursued by Pollard a local landlord that wants to join Esther's family own for the riches of the magical willow trees on her property. Lots of tragedy and then comeuppance. El-Mohtar writes in a really poetic style.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
