Death’s Songbird is a dark and whimsical retelling of the Nightingale fairy tale. Not every splendor was born with wings. Mine either never existed or they were clipped before I could crawl. Gone, along with the rest of my kind. One day, two guards arrived, inviting me to the Divine Palace to meet the Emperor. He wished to see my talents. To witness my majesty for himself. There was a reason my kind had been hunted. Why I was the only one left. It was the magic we were known for… Our song. Death's Songbird features a sapphic romance (femme x nonbinary). This novella includes some dark themes relating to grief, death, sexuality, and oppression. All proceeds from reading go to The Trevor Project.****
