Publisher Description
Five shapeshifter novels—one fascinating read!
Hawksong
Danica Shardae, an avian shapeshifter, will do anything in her power to stop the war that has raged between her people and the serpiente—even pretend to be in love with Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, and accept him as her pair bond. But will Zane strike as swiftly and lethally as the cobra that is his second form?
Snakecharm
A surprising union has brought peace to the avians and serpiente. Soon a child will be born to carry on their royal lines. But Syfka, an ancient falcon, is claiming that one of her people is hidden in the avian and serpiente land. Is Syfka’s lost falcon just a ruse to stir up controversy among them?
Falcondance
Nicias is a falcon, the son of two exiles from Ahnmik, and images of this distant island have always haunted his dreams. When his visions become more like reality, his parents send him back to the homeland—and a royal falcon—they’ve tried their best to forget.
Wolfcry
Oliza Shardae Cobriana is heir to Wyvern’s Court, home of the avians and serpiente, whose war with each other ended just before Oliza was born. But hatred is slow to die, and Oliza’s serpiente suitor is found beaten in avian land. How can she be expected to lead a unified society if her people still cannot live peacefully together?
Wyvernhail
Hai, daughter of a falcon mother and a deceased cobra father, is considered a mongrel by most, an ally by some, and a friend by few. When Hai’s cousin abdicates the throne of Wyvern’s Court, Hai has visions of destruction. Now she will do anything to protect her new home—even if it means betraying the very people who need her most.
Customer Reviews
The shapeshifters
These books have captivated me since I was little. Every time I read the series, I get more and more out of it. These books are genius and I will never tire of reading them. An adventure with every book, every page, every paragraph and every word. Love it.
Fantastically captivating and imaginative but a bit lacking in plot and character development
I first picked up Snakecharm when I was a young teen, not knowing it was the second in an entire installment. It left a huge impression on me, being a big fantasy/fiction fan, and I was immediately enraptured by the creativity of the world-building, the variety of characters, and the glittering descriptions that seemed to entice all the senses. I was really whisked away in this universe, truly an immersive experience. It wasn’t until years later as an adult that I picked up the entire series and read it front-to-back.
As a disclaimer, I know this book is geared towards young adults, and it does read as such. Nothing overly-complex about the plot or language, easy to follow along for the most part. I enjoyed a lot of the political and interpersonal intrigue that enriched the story, but a lot of the plot seemed very rushed in certain areas, especially in the later books. A lot of the endings seemed abrupt and tied up too quickly/conveniently to be left with that feeling of satisfaction, and I wish certain areas were elaborated on more, particularly in terms of character development.
Overall, however, this is a great read for anyone looking for an entertaining tale of political and interpersonal drama creatively interwoven into a universe of magic and beauty. I really enjoyed this series.
Amazing
