About this book
Bird and Sword A voiceless girl raised in a gilded cage becomes an unexpected pawn in a kingdom on the brink of war when she's taken hostage by a powerful king—only to discover he's the first person who truly sees her. Lark has spent thirteen years isolated by shame and circumstance, her magic silenced along with her voice by a tragic childhood moment, but everything changes when King Tiras treats her silent presence as a gift rather than a curse. As danger and duty swirl around them, an undeniable connection blooms between two people society has deemed broken, sparking a romance that might just be the most dangerous magic of all. This sweeping fantasy beautifully captures the power of being understood and loved for exactly who you are.
