Nest of Lies maybe? When did you read it?

[David]

Hi Ayshe... No Nest of Lies was not it. (Although I have added it to my read list as it sounds intersting) .

I read the book in question more than 20 years ago as a soft cover I found in the library. Here's more details from what I can remember.

Girl who is being forced to marry for political reasons finds out that she is adopted and that her real parents belonged to a group(tribe) of people who can telepathically talk to birds. She runs off to these people in the hopes of avoiding the marriage. Meanwhile the "political reason" shows itself to be a danger from an invading group(tribe) who can call down fire from the sun. For some reason I think they all had 'tith' as part of there name.. Also remember that girl can somewhat control some prehistoric birds called Revenants..
