Songbird of the Sorrows – Braidee Otto

An outcast princess. A forbidden love. A deadly mission that could change the fate of a kingdom.

Princess Aella was cast out from the Palace of Sorrows and gifted to the Aviary, a secret order of elite spies, at a young age. Raised to obey without question, she has spent years training to become the perfect weapon.

After completing the Naming Ceremony, Aella is assigned to the prestigious Alpha Flight, led by none other than her former flame, Raven. Brave, loyal, and lethal, Raven awakens feelings Aella was taught to bury because love is forbidden within the Aviary.

When Alpha Flight is sent to infiltrate a rival kingdom’s royal trials in search of a hidden weapon, old sparks reignite and dangerous truths begin to surface. As the mission unravels, Aella must decide whether to remain loyal to the order that raised her or risk everything for what she believes is right.

Perfect for readers who love epic romantic fantasy filled with court intrigue, forbidden romance, political tension, found family, and high-stakes adventure.
