Maeve has a secret. Which for half human half bird is an understatement. She's almost normal, a 16 year old blue-eyed brunette who is very modest but strong. Even so, she has conflicts with her mind and heart. If she should be the iconic figure of their rulers, like Simone, or be herself and get in trouble. With this one secret, she could be more powerful than the King, Queen, and Council put together. One. Beautiful. Deadly. Secret. She's in love. Against her the code of her superhuman-avian race, she can't fall into the committed love that both she and her lover want to pursue. What's more, her lover's a boy. Meaning regular boy. She is betrayed and she and her lover are tried for treason at the Council of Elders at her race's city of origin, Memini. What will happen to her and her lover? Where will they go if she is exiled? But the most important question to her right now is, 'When is the next time I can see him?'
