Princess Wren was sixteen years old when her uncle came to her room in the dark, wept, called her little bird - and killed her for a crime she didn't commit.
Then she woke up. Five years old, in a nursery she'd forgotten, eleven years before the knife.
Everyone in the Birdcage is exactly as she remembers them: her father the Emperor, whose love locks every door it touches. Her Papa, caged so long he's forgotten how to want things. Five siblings raised as strangers in the same palace. And somewhere to the south, a great house keeping patient accounts, already laying the long road that ends in a poisoned cup and a banished girl's name.
Wren knows how it ends. She has a lifetime of foreknowledge, a child's body, and no army, no allies, no proof.
What she has is a breakfast table. An empty chair. And the stubborn, unprovable conviction that a plot built for a lonely family will starve in a loved one.
But the slow war has a fast ending, and it runs through the one person she can't be clever about: the gentle, lonely uncle who leaves river-stones on her windowsill - and who, in a life only she remembers, held the knife.
