To Meet Surrender

Nothing that flies after dark is a bird… France, 1429. Alba takes bitter tincture every Friday, and has a dream she'd never dare confess: a winged man whose face she cannot see. Then the English burn her village with creatures in their ranks. By dawn, she saves her parents with strength that isn’t her own and is saved herself by the monster she sees in her head. But when strange marks appear on her skin, and she discovers her blood could crown a new queen, she must choose: Stay in hiding or fight to fulfill a prophecy given before her birth. With the one man she’s most terrified of. The one man she’s most drawn to. The one man who’s searched for her for over a thousand years. Duration - 4h 25m. Author - Cindy Gunderson.
