Raised among humans, Ori Jones only discovered he was an avian shifter six months ago. Unable to complete a full shift until he reaches his avian maturity, he still can’t be sure of his exact species.

But with species comes rank, and rank is everything to the avians. When a partial shift allows the elders to announce that they believe Ori to be a rather ugly little duckling, he drops straight to the bottom rung of their hierarchy.

Life isn’t easy for Ori until he comes to the attention of a high ranking hawk shifter. Then the only question is, is Ori really a duck—and what will his new master think when the truth eventually comes out?

My review

I had avoided reading this one because I thought it was going to be silly, well don't I feel silly now that I have read it!!
This is a really sweet tale of a young man finding his place in the a world that is all about hierarchy and prestige connected to your breed. This is a re-telling of the ugly duckling story but it is masterfully done, no pun intended. It is also about the Dom/Sub relationship when it is a life choice and I have to say it was really beautiful. I liked that it depicted how the two flourish when they are able to be who they are meant to be we also got to see what happens when they are taken out of their rolls and how badly they do. This really is a sweet story of life, love, exception and place as set by breed and how life is more about who you are rather then what you are. If you, like me have any doubts about reading this I would say just give it a go and you will find yourself falling in love and wanting to find your self your own little duck.
