Pretty Magpies please their master. Pretty Magpies never fly faster.

Pretty Magpies have no choice. Pretty Magpies have no voice.

Pretty Magpies bow and submit—or pretty magpies get the whip.

One fateful night, a flock from the Magpie Order is summoned to a supernatural prison to calm the most violent offenders by any means necessary. When imprisoned leviathan alphas Cato, Aedan, and Geralt meet their magpie, a beautiful but na?ve human, her song calls to them unlike any other. With her, their world stops. No more apocalypse. No more doom. All that matters now is claiming and marking their new mate… And then rescuing this pretty magpie from an order that will use her until she drops.

Magpie's Song is a short standalone smutvella in the Birds of a Feather universe. The series features darker romance elements and may not be for every reader. Please heed the warnings listed at the front of each book.

When I left home on the eve of the summer solstice, I didn't expect to learn monsters were real—nor did I plan on getting kidnapped by one.

A dragon, if you want to be specific.

A hot, wounded, furious alpha dragon who triggers a heat the moment I scent him.

Vidar.

He makes me weak. He makes me burn.

I don't understand it. Alphas rarely get a smilefrom me, never mind an insta-heat.

Is this a fated mates deal, a rare and beautiful scent match?

Or has my first encounter with a real alpha made me totally delusional and this—the way my body screams for him, craves him, needs him—is just embarrassing.

Either way, the pack courting me thinks my explosive heat is for them, and when I'm at my most vulnerable, they try to force our bond against my will.

But in the storm of flame and fury that follows, I learn the truth:

Tonight, the only thing that will soothe my heat, mend my broken heart, and claim my very soul—is fire.
