Review Summaries
"Danica Shardae is a shapeshifter. Danica Shardae, heir to the throne will stop at nothing to stop the war. To stop the war, she must accept Zane Coribana, the terrifying enemy of her kind, as her mate. It turns out to be alot harder than she expected. Determined to end the war, she has to convince her people that Zane is as commited to peace as she is."
Dipa, Resident Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Scholar

"Danica Shardae, an Avian shapeshifter, has the ability to take on a hawk's form and wander the skies. Destined to take her mother's place as ruler of the Avian people, Danice knows too well the challenges she will face concerning the war her people have been fighting for generations against the Serpiente people across the land. Danica is tired of the bloodshed. It is all her people know, and she'll do anything to stop the hatred and fear, even consider taking Zane Cobriana, the terrible heir to the Serpiente throne, as her mate. Danica faces the challenge of convincing her people that Zane is just as commited to peace as she is, though she doubts his convictions herself. In Serpiente lands, she'll have to pretend she's in love, but in private Danica and Zane's instincts keep them worlds apart. Among them are people who will do anything to destroy their union, and the trust Zane asks of Danica may be more than she can give."
Heather Jensen, Resident Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Scholar

"Danica Shardea and Zane Cobriana, shapeshifters and rulers, marry in hope of bringing peace to their warring kingdoms. When they set aside the fear and hatred they have for one another, they learn to love each other. The story involves two assassins from both kingdoms, and love against the odds."
Sarah, Resident Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Scholar

"For all of Danica Shardae's life, her people, the avian shapeshifters, have been at war with the serpiente, another shapeshifter group. Danica, soon to be the queen of her people, is offered a chance to stop the bloodshed by marrying Zane Cobriana, the leader of the serpiente. But making peace proves to be harder than either of them had expected. The avians and the serpiente are not ready to trust one another- and some people will do anything to keep it that way..."
Emma, Resident Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Scholar
