Raksura Series - Book 1
The first in a five volume series referred to as the Raksura Series. The Raksura are a race of shapeshifters, including the Arbora (who shift between human and bird-like, but without wings) and the Aeriat (human and full birds). The Aeriat are warriors and sterile, except for the queen and her consort. Moon is one of these Aeriat, and a constort. The odd piece is that Moon has lived on his own his entire life, mostly in human form trying to fit in. He doesn't know what he his, or if he is the only one. Until he is found by another consort and brought into a tribe (flock?) of his own kind. Only to find that he might be the catalyst for change that could save the tribe from The Fell (a related, but evil species of shape shifters).
This is a fabulous world. I love the characters and culture, Wells continues to dominate this fantasy genre.
4 stars (out of 4)
