Hawksong

Hawksong is a book written by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

The book is about two people. The Avian and the Serpiente. What both have in common is the ability to shift shape, the avians into beautiful birds and the serpiente into hauntingly beautiful snakes. The two people have been at war for as long as Danica Shardae, the heir to the avian throne, can remember, and she is tired of it! She is tired of losing everyone she loves to the Serpiente, tired of fighting a war she knows no one will ever win. So she sets out to make a deal with Zane Cobrianna the future leader of the Serpiente.
The book is set around 750 BCE and tells the story of Zane and Danica in an attempt to unite the two kingdoms.

This book is the first in the Kiesha'ra series. I love this book because it is beautifully written and describes everything so clearly. I also really admire the authour because she got her first novel published at the age of thirteen. The negative thing about the whole series is that every book is read from a new persons point of view so it can be very confusing. Another negative thing is that they are so thin that you have finished the book in about a day when reading slowly. All in all I really like this book.
