Kate J. Armstrong's fantasy "Nightbirds" follows four young magical women battling for control over their own lives when they discover the secrets behind a dangerous system they've lived under their whole lives. Matilde is a seasoned Nightbird, a woman with the magical ability to briefly give her powers to any recipient through a kiss. Nightbirds are under heavy restrictions, with magic outlawed in their society, making them targets. They're only allowed to bestow their powers on the rich men of the Great House. But when Matilde discovers that there are more Nightbirds just like her, and with greater capabilities, she realizes the Nightbirds are not being protected, but used. Caught amid a political game, Matilde and the Nightbirds look to unveil the truth about their powers and face choosing the safety they've always known or venturing into the unknown.
