In Deception's Shadow

Enemies by nature. Companions by choice. When unforeseen circumstances force natural enemies to become allies, something far more enduring than animosity is born. Warrior-Scout Ashayna Stonemantle has no awareness of her fate until her sentient magic manipulates her into seeking out one of the enemy—Sorntar, Crown Prince of the Phoenix. If she dare trust the word of an enemy prince who is also an avian shape-shifting mage, their souls and futures are eternally linked.
