It is narrated by Zane Cobriana, Diente of the serpiente people and alistair to Danica Shardae, Tuuli Thea of the avians.

This book relates what happens after Zane and Danica's marriage ends the avian-serpiente war.

Syfka has absolutely no respect for the reunification of the two cultures and with her falcon magic, she has no problem with trying to destroy the fragile peace.

There is little that Zane and Danica can do to try to stop her, considering her ability to use powerful magics almost casually and the fact that she is several thousands of years old.

Both sides are worried about being dominated by the other and both are putting enormous pressure on Zane and Danica to raise the child their way.
