Hawksong
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
In a world where ancient animosity fuels a brutal war between avian shapeshifters and the serpentine, Danica Shardae, heir to the avian throne, is thrust into a desperate bid for peace. To end the conflict that has plagued her people for generations, she must forge an unlikely alliance by accepting Zane Cobriana, the formidable leader of the serpiente, as her destined mate. This union, meant to unite their royal families and foster trust, challenges Danica's deepest loyalties and forces her to question whether peace is truly attainable. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes masterfully weaves a tale of forbidden love, ancient feuds, and the courage it takes to defy tradition for the sake of a future free from war.

Wolfcry
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
When a young woman’s life is upended by a mysterious bond to a wolf spirit, she’s pulled into a hidden world where ancient magic and dangerous loyalties collide. As she learns what her connection truly means, she must navigate shifting alliances, fierce supernatural politics, and the cost of power in a realm that never forgives weakness. Blending coming-of-age tension with mythic fantasy, the story explores identity, belonging, and the thin line between instinct and choice. With Amelia Atwater-Rhodes’s lyrical, character-driven style, this tale delivers a fast, emotionally charged journey into the wild—where every cry can be a warning, a promise, or a turning point.
