My wings unbound, I am the Thai bird princess, the kinnaree, and no matter the cost, I will be free. Peeraphan Rahttana lives her life in Seattle, unaware of the complicated magical world spinning just beyond the shadows and mist…until a violent clash outside her dance rehearsal has her literally whisked off her feet. Her darkly brooding rescuer, vampire Bennett Andrews, claims to represent a secret organization dedicated to locating objects of myth and magic, tucking them safely away where they can do no harm―but he's too late to save Peeraphan from a deadly curse. Yet Peeraphan isn't what she seems. Wings unbound, she's a Thai bird princess of legend...and while the curse won't kill her outright, it's only a matter of time. Determined, Bennett sweeps Peeraphan deeper into a supernatural world far beyond anything she ever imagined in a desperate bid to find a solution...and an explanation for the powers even she doesn't know how to define. Her world may have changed overnight, but Peeraphan knows one thing for certain: she can't go back to living as a human anymore. Not when she's felt what it's like to fly with Bennett by her side. She's determined to keep her wings and her freedom…and defy anyone who would try to take them from her again. What would you save if the world you knew disappeared and you could open your eyes to what exists just beyond?

Faced with a moral dilemma, the protagonist must decide whether to reveal the existence of a human who has transformed into a shape-shifter or to erase the encounter from memory. This choice explores themes of loyalty, secrecy, and the consequences of one's actions, as the character grapples with the weight of duty versus personal connection. The tension between obligation and desire drives the narrative, raising questions about identity and the nature of transformation.

Piper J. Drake presents hot military heroes, the women who love them, and the dogs who always have their backs in this continuation of the high-adrenaline romantic suspense True Heroes series.
