Oriane has a secret. Every morning she transforms into the skylark, and it is her song that brings the dawn. Seclusion has kept her safe, but Oriane craves freedom. One morning, Oriane chooses not to return to her human form and continues to fly, through the forest, and into the wild unknown. When she lands unexpectedly in the gardens of the royal palace she is taken in by the king and treated like a goddess and a prisoner. Unable to escape palace politics, Oriane yearns for the simplicity of her previous life. There is a growing danger in the royal city, and Oriane and her gift are at the centre of the intrigue. But within the whispers and intrigue comes an unexpected surprise: she may not be as alone as she thought. There may be another like her. The nightingale.
