Oliza Shardae Cobriana is the daughter of Danica and Zane. She is a wyvern, a cross between her hawk mother and cobra father - though she can assume both of their shapes, the heir to a legacy of war and distrust, a hope for peace between two peoples.

But Oliza is kipnapped and taken far from her home, trapped in her human form. But in her attempt to find her way home, she'll meet other shifters, make friends, and realize the ultimate truth about herself.

These are really good books, and I look forward to the next one in the series, Wyvernhail coming out in September.

I love Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I NEVER saw the ending coming. This was a good like, full-circle endpoint for the parents' part in the series, I thought, and now all I need is to read Wyvernhail to get the wrap-up of the kids' lives. She's fantastic, I can't wait for the rest of her work. ( )

Oliza is the child of two warring clans, the serepentie and the avians, and the hope for the end of segregation between the species. Despite the weight of the responsibility thrust upon her at such a young age Oliza loves the Wyverns Court created by her parents and is willing to sacrifice anything to bring the worlds together. But, years of hatred and distrust, despite 20 years of peace and the end of bloodshed, is not easy to let go of. Will Oliza be able to braid these two worlds into one society or is a future of disaster all she can look forward to?

Wolfcry is the fourth book of The Kiesha'ra books which begain with Hawksong, one of my favorite books ever. As the series has moved on the politics and mythology of Oliza's society has become more complex and a little harder to understand. Despite this I found Wolfcry to be an engrossing read with surprising twists throughout the story that I would have never expected when I picked the book up. Although I believe this book would totally lose anyone who is not familiar to the series as a whole it is definately a must read for those who have come this far in the Kiesha'ra world. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385731957, Hardcover)

Oliza Shardae Cobriana is heir to Wyvern's Court, home of the avians and serpiente, whose war with each other ended just before Oliza was born. But hatred is slow to die, and not everyone likes the expressive way in which Urban, a serpiente dancer, is courting Oliza--especially not Marus, her reserved avian suitor. And when Urban is found beaten in avian land, Oliza is filled with despair. How can she be expected to lead a unified society if her people still cannot live peacefully together?

Before Oliza can try to mend the rift in Wyvern's Court, she is kidnapped by mercenaries, who take her deep into wolves' territory. As Wyvern princess, all Oliza has ever wanted is to see a future where she can find love and take a mate without inciting another war. The time is now. She owes it to her people--and to herself.
