Kari, a young woman, returns to the jungle planet of Dora after ten years in Earth’s schools determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding the harpies, a feral species with the appearance half-bird, half-human.

The human colonists believe harpies are dangerous animals, which are known to steal women. The creatures are hunted like wild game, their wings considered rare trophies. But Kari distrusts these rumors. When she was attacked by a monster in the jungle as a child, a male harpy with rare golden coloring rescued her.

Constant hunting by men has driven the harpies to the brink of extinction. Is Kari’s savior, the elegant golden harpy, is still alive? If so, how long can he and his flock survive the ravages of mankind?

Re: Flight of the Golden Harpy

Flight of the Golden Harpy looks like a great read! I'm adding

Flight of the Golden Harpy sounds captivating and intriguing.
What a unique and wonderful feature. Best wishes and much
success and happiness.

Because you have so many elements to your book, it's hard to
pinpoint your genre. I can see where they would have
trouble trying to put you in the right category, but the way
I would do it is to label it in the category that stands out
the most. I hope that makes sense. Nonetheless, it sounds
like quite the ride, and I would love to read it, to see
what your writing is all about. I think I've seen your book
posted somewhere before, but didn't know exactly what it was
about. Now that I do, you have peaked my interest. Thank
you for coming to Fresh Fiction, and for taking a stab, and
making a very interesting post. Don't be a stranger, and
continue to write your books - those that confuse the
Editors, and I'm sure will have the readers clamoring for
more!!

sounds like an interesting book.

I'm looking forward to reading your books. I like books that
can't be slotted into a particular genre, as they tend to be
more balanced and maybe a bit more unpredictable. I hope you
have much success with this approach.
