She escaped the chains of the old world... only to discover that freedom comes with a price.

After years enslaved by street gangs in the crumbling ruins of Tangier, Perrin escapes with nothing but a clipped wing and a burning desire for freedom. When she's rescued and brought to La Mancha—a forest refuge where the Old Races thrive—she believes she's finally found peace.

But life in paradise has rules, and Perrin bristles under every one. The people she wants to trust most may never see her as one of their own. Especially not Michael David, a firebird and the scion of a founding family who seems to have moved on from their fragile connection.

Perrin can't stop feeling like an outsider under the watchful boughs of a forest that seems to disapprove of her very presence. As the fiftieth anniversary of the gods' departure looms, Perrin must decide whether to run once more... or risk planting roots in a world that doesn't yet know what to make of her.
