Skysong

By C. A. Wright

Skysong is a lush, lyrical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Nightingale' about what some will do for power… and what others will do for love.
Skysong
By C. A. Wright

Every morning, Oriane transforms into a skylark, whose song has the power to make the sun rise. She has spent her life hidden away, kept secret and safe, but when the pull of the outside world grows too strong, she flies to the royal city, where she is discovered. Taken in by the king and swept up in a court of admirers, Oriane finds the human connection she’s been desperately craving. But she soon discovers that all is not as it seems – and that she might not be the only one of her kind.
