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.

Ah, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, the purple prose enabler of my youth. (Im not slamming her; look, she was fourteen when In the Forests of the Night was published, the writings not perfect. Shes gotten better.) Between seventh and tenth grade, I devoured the entire Den of Shadows quartet and loved them. And then I read Hawksong and that was the last book I read by her until All Just Glass came out a few years ago. Its not that I wasnt interested at all in the Kieshara series, I just never got aroundThe five shapeshifter books should be read together, but considered four separate story arcs. If you don't the story could be disjointed. For me the flow was perfect, following the two generations of royalty and the friends they surrounded themselves with. And I found the situations both unique and true to the world created. And the World was amazing, I'm still spinning from how rich I found it and how deep the history yet.Now the bad news; if you like twilight you may not enjoy this. It's
I originally read this series in middle school, where it was pitched by the school librarian. I read Hawksong at the time and fell in love.Sometimes when I revisit books or shows that I liked when I was younger, I find problematic things that I missed when I was younger. Revisiting this series, I was happy to see the book series was as I remembered.I would say that my rating of five stars likely includes my nostalgia, and also accounts for the original age which I read this series (middle
I cried in book 4! This is 5 novels placed in one very large book. A series of events that take place in order and over generations. It trapped me from the beginning and took me all the way through. Had I not needed sleep I wouldn't have put it down. One fantastic epic tale!
This is one of those books I keep coming back to and reading from cover to cover. Each time, I discover something new, or I see things from a new perspective.
Definitely some of the best books I've ever read. Personally, I think they're better than the Twilight Saga, and can compete with Harry Potter(maybe). My favorite of all the books had to be Wolfcry. Whenever Oliza or Hai performed a sakkri'a'she, I cried almost every time, especially the one that showed Keyi with one of the Obsidian guild. One of my favorite, but saddest quotes is "I want to chase the butterflies," -Keyi (Wolfcry)
Truly a work of one inspired, this series (5 books in 1 volume) is a treasure, especially from an author so young! Before reading this whole book, I recommend reading "Hawksong", the first book in the series, by itself to see if you will like the theme/style. However, it is easy to be hooked by the characters and themes that weave together so well throughout all five books. Amelia addresses some of the most complex current-day "controversial" topics in a way that is easy to ignore if you just
