Ok, you all knew this before I did - this is a great fantasy book. I've seen this go off the shelf over and over and be talked about word of mouth for a couple of years now, and I finally have gotten around to reading it this summer. Danicae Shardae, the main character, is a princess of a shape-shifter society - a delicate blonde beauty of a girl whose avian form is a golden hawk. Her avian race has been in a devastating war with the serpent race for as long as anyone can remember. On the eve of her ascension to queen, the prince of the Serpiente comes to her with a bold and risky plan for peace. Zane Cobriana suggests they marry and join their two kingdoms. It's a plan as frightening as it is bold. Danicae is desperate for peace, but there is a natural revulsion between bird and snake, and the romance is tense and dangerous for all.
