Don't worry about those fluffy yellow morons:
They'll never get to be swans”

Thanks, Adrianja! I really hope you like the other books when you get hold of them. I'm doing edits on the companion novel to Daughter of the Flames now (FrostFire) and hopefully that will be out in July next year, so that's something to look forward to as well :)
