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, she’ll do anything in her power to stop this war—even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one.


Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica—and all they ask of their people—but it may be more than she can give.

My Review:
I adored this book, after reading the Den of Shadows series I dove straight into this book. It is about two enemies the Avians and the Serpiente... for as long as Danica can remember there has been a war between the Avians and the Serpiente and all she wants is for it to stop. Danice is heir to the heir to the Avian throne as Zane is the heir to the Serpiente throne.

In an attempt to unite the two civilizations and to stop war and enforce peace, Zane and Danica both agree to marry each other after a lot of hesitation. They both want to do anything they can to stop the war because they have both lost so many people to this war. The hardest thing they will ever learn to do is to trust each other, because if they can't trust one another they won't be able to convince their people that this is the path to peace.

At first Danica and Zane hated each other's guts because that is how they were taught... but as they get to know each other those walls crumble and they begin to see the true sides of each other. It's so amazing how they fall in love with each other...  This was such a swoon worthy book and I know I will definitely re-read this book! It isn't long at all but is filled with love, hate, and trying to do what is right. If you like YA with romance and an amazing world you should give this book a try!

Really Great Book!

Here is one of my favorite quotes:

“I lifted my face to meet the kiss, wanting the comfort of his touch as much as I was willing to provide the comfort of mine. The contact was sweet and soft, yet at the same time desperate."
