From his magnificent tawny wings to his wicked feathery tail, Miriliel the Burnished is masculine perfection. One glance, and Fledge knows she's outclassed. After all, she's a small, ordinary circus girl with no education, no looks and no prospects. Mirry's not only a warrior of the Aetherii but a scholar of renown. Mesmerized by the power of his personality and her desire to be mastered, Fledge gives herself up for lost.

But she can't help thinking, if only she had wings, she'd soar with Mirry in a Mating Flight for the ages. If only.

Mirry has lots of things on his oh-so clever mind. An ageless demon's captured his friend, Janarnavriel the Noir, and it's using the dark warrior's beautiful body for a perverted playground.

All Mirry has to do is rescue his friend, finish his encyclopedia and educate Fledge. By the time he's finished, she'll know how to read, write and submit for her pleasure- and his. In between, he needs to kill a deathless demon, sort out his complicated feelings for Jan and show Fledge the secret of an Aetherii orgasm.

Not to worry. He's made a list.
