Hawksong by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Description: From TheDenofShadows.com, direct from Amelia Atwater-Rhodes:

With the death of her last brother, Danica Shardae is the last heir to the Tuuli Thea Nacola, the tired monarch of a civilization torn by a war that has raged for so long that neither side knows how it began—or how to end it. For countless generations the two worlds have fought, perfecting the bloody art of war. Their two cultures are as opposite as fate could make them.

From birth, Danica’s people are taught to hate “the enemy,” and most specifically to fear the garnet gaze of a royal family that avian legend says descends from demons. Legends of their evil are told as warnings to every child, every parent and every soldier.

And from the other side, those garnet eyes gaze toward what they know as a cold, emotionless race. For serpiente myth says that Danica people have no souls, no hearts, no care for their own dead or for who they kill.

Now, with much trepidation, Danica must step up and take the throne...
