Aderyn is the new Protector of Atratys, her home dominion in a place where nobles can transform into birds. But since witnessing the death of her mother six years earlier, Aderyn has been unable to transform, threatening her place as Protector of Atratys. She is determined to discover what happened to her mother and travels to the Citadel to find out. But once she is there, she discovers that some things are better off not known, and finding out the truth has put her at great risk...
This was wonderful. A really original twist on a fairytale story. I loved the whole idea of nobles transforming into birds, and the world-building in this story is great. It's detailed and interesting. The change in Aderyn's character from the beginning to the end is great - she really comes into herself and does what she has to do to protect her kingdom. Highly recommend this.
