In book two the avians and serpiente shapeshifters are living in peace since their King and Queen (Zane & Danica) have married. But now Danica is pregnant.. how with a half-breed heir to the throne be raised? How will it be able to rule? The fragile peace is shaken by the arrival of an ancient shapeshifting falcon looking for criminals from her land. Although it took a while for me to get back into the story of this 167 page book, I was totally involved in the tale soon enough. It would be helpful for the reader if the author made a list of characters designating them as avians, serpiente or falcons and their place in the society. Of course now I cannot wait for the third book.
