Books like Hawksong: The Kiesha'ra by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Danica Shardae is an avian shapeshifter who moves as naturally in golden hawk form as she does as a human. She is the heir to her people's throne and has fought forever against an enemy that is the serpiente, with a part of the continued war. Her people have little memory of the beginnings of a war, yet it is her duty and desire to end it. To prevent further bloodshed, Danica is willing to risk her own life and her people’s lives by agreeing to a partnership with Zane Cobriana, the feared leader of the serpiente.
"Trust" demands as much of Danica as it does of her people, and she wonders if she can give it all.
