In 2152 the avian race is on Earth looking for something stolen from them decades ago their genetics. At the center of the search lies the Rural Republic: a small backwards country with high hopes of military domination and a penchant for illegal bioengineering. Nineteen year-old Junco Coot is the daughter of the Rural Republic's ranking commander. She's the most foul-mouthed, unpredictable and ruthless sniper the Rural Republic has ever trained. But when her father's death sparks a trip into forbidden places, she triggers events that will change everything she knows to be true. As an elite avian military officer, Tier's mission is to destroy the bioengineering projects, kill Junco, and return home immediately. There's just one problem. Junco isn't who she claims to be. With no one to trust, not even herself, Junco must confront the secrets of her past and accept her place in the future, or risk losing herself completely.
