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 Danicas alliance. To Zanes horror, his own people seem just as appalled as Syfka is by the thought of a mixedblood child becoming heir to the throne. Is Syfkas lost falcon just a ruse to stir up controversy among them? The truth lies somewhere in their tangled pastsand the search will redefine Zane and Danicas fragile future.
