Two siblings. One impossible bond. A world that wants to break them. Evan and Ava Adams. Two sides of a coin bound by blood and a past they don't fully understand. They do everything together: art projects, school reports, friendships. Their world is small, safe, and theirs. But when Harvesters drag them into the Games, a brutal competition that demands more than raw strength, the twins are forced to confront what it means to be human and whether their small world will stay whole or fracture under pressure. Inside the arena, nothing is safe from the Grand Juror and her rules. Not the fragile sense of identity they’ve spent their whole lives trying to protect. Not the trust they’ve always had in each other. Evan fights with an ice‑honed instinct; Ava with a gale‑force compassion. But the Games twist every strength into a weakness, every bond into a weapon. Relationships are revealed, wounds ripped wide, and those thought to be friends may twist more than hearts. Birds of a Feather is a YA/NA science‑fantasy novel about trauma, survival, and the unbreakable threads of family. Perfect for readers who love emotional intensity, character‑driven storytelling, and worlds where the greatest battles are fought in the heart. Some truths save you. Others remake you. A novel set in the Strimverse. "Delivers a nostalgic, emotionally precise story with strong horror elements and a satisfying plot twist." - Julia Jewell "The characters really drive this book... the emotions are unlike [any other] and it makes you really root for certain characters." - Chris Everidge "This is book 1 in a series, We don't get all the answers by the end, but still it reaches a point that feels like a real ending - no big cliffhanger that could make you regret reading it before the next one is available." - Isabelle D. "The imagery in this novel was captivating, from the rivers teeming with sunburst lichen to the ice cream shop specials. particularly loved the descriptions of the Vestiges themselves and Strim. It felt magical!" - Bee
