The Red Rexes are in trouble: a new senator is in power, and he’s playing dirty.

After Carthus testifies before the Javreali Senate, he finds a clue that might unlock the mystery of Knightsbane’s assassination attempts, but he doesn’t know exactly what it means—or with whom to share it. To make matters worse, Senator Ianus is being replaced at Koganri by someone from the opposing party—someone whose loyalties lie with the Red Rexes’ biggest rivals. The odds are stacked against them.

A story about loneliness, forgiveness, and the courage to let others into our lives.

Eighteen species of wild birds live in ten-year old Libby’s front yard, and for a future ornithologist like her, it’s a dream. She’d trade human friends for avian ones any day, and her thirty-two birdhouses, eleven bird feeders, stacks of field notes, and lack of friendship bracelets prove it.
