The Shadow Winged Chronicles

Being a bush pilot in Alaska is dangerous, but it's nothing compared to the threat stalking me now. I'm Piper Tikaani, an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter, and the skies have always been my refuge—until the day I find a family friend dead on the roof of his wilderness cabin. His death isn't just a tragedy—it's a warning. My people whisper of hidden treasure and long-buried secrets, but the truth is far worse. Ancient beasts, long thought extinct, are prowling the land once more. The gods of my ancestors have awakened, and they want the shadow-winged—like me—erased.

I grew up on stories of the old gods—tales meant to warn, not prepare me for the day they'd return. But here they are, walking the earth again, and it turns out it's my dad's fault. Worse? Their idea of fun is total annihilation. As an Inupiaq Raven Clan shapeshifter and a bush pilot, I prefer to stay off the radar. But when the gods set their sights on a powerful magical artifact—one capable of ending everything—I can't just stand by and watch.

Ever since I uncovered the truth about my bloodline, everything has gone to hell. My best friend, Bran, has been cursed—trapped inside an artifact by an ancient goddess who refuses to let her go. Weasel is coming for Bran, an unknown monster is hunting me, and war is brewing between the gods, the shadow-winged, and the weres. If we win, humanity stays blissfully ignorant and safe. If we lose? Everything ends. I'm just a shapeshifting bush pilot with a knack for survival, but even I know this fight is bigger than me. The gods are making their final move.
