Hawksong

by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

All Danica has known is war. She has lost countless loved ones to the war that has raged between her people and the serpiente. Able to take the form of a majestic hawk, Danica is heir to the throne. But she will do anything for peace. So when Zane Cobriana, the unpredictable cobra and heir to the serpiente throne, makes an offer, how much will she sacrifice?

I absolutely adore this book. The story is simple but beautifully orchestrated. The characters are vivid and their world entirely believable. Highly recommended for all teens. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.
