| Hawk Song By Amelia Atwater-Rhodes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Danica Shardae is an avian shapeshifter, and the golden hawk�s form in which she takes to the sky is as natural to her as the human one that graces her on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how the fighting began. As heir to the avian throne, Danica will do anything in her power to stop the bloodshed�even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind�s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one. Now Danica must convince her people that Zane is just as committed to peace as she is�though she can�t help fearing that, despite his word, he will strike as swiftly and lethally as the cobra that is his second form. Among the serpiente, she�ll have to pretend to be in love, though when they�re alone, her reserve threatens to keep her and Zane worlds apart. And in their midst are dissenters who will do whatever it takes to destroy this union. Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica�and all they ask of their people�but it may be more than she can give. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| SnakeCharm by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Zane Cobriana, Cobra shapeshifter, thanks the gods every day for Danica, his hawk pair bond, and the peace their union has brought to the avian and serpiente. Soon, Danica will have a child to carry on their royal line. But what should be a happy time is riddled with doubt. Syfka, an ancient falcon, has arrived from Ahnmik claiming that one of her people is hidden in their midst. The falcons are more powerful than the avians and serpiente combined, and Syfka shows nothing but contempt for Zane and Danica�s alliance. To Zane�s horror, his own people seem just as appalled as Syfka is by the thought of a mixed-blood child becoming heir to the throne. Is Syfka�s lost falcon just a ruse to stir up controversy among them? The truth lies somewhere in their tangled pasts�and the search will redefine Zane and Danica�s fragile future. |

But two new students have just arrived in Ramsa, and both want Jessica's attention.
