The world of Volandros is not what it once was. The fairies-once numerous-are now rare, scattered across the land after a devastating plague. Flicka, a curious and determined fairy, finds herself entangled in a dangerous mission to save her best friend, Theo, from a shady mage. Her journey takes her deep into the heart of Mount Lion, the home of the secretive and fiercely independent dwarves. To settle Theo's debt, Flicka must steal the legendary Golden Key of Safrid-an artifact said to unlock any door in existence. But the dwarves do not take kindly to intruders, and gaining their trust is no simple feat. As Flicka dances her way into their good graces, she faces a choice-betray the ones who welcomed her or risk losing the only person she has left in the world. With magic, intrigue, and adventure at every turn, Wings of Volandros is a spellbinding tale of loyalty, deception, and the search for home. Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Howl's Moving Castle, this fantasy adventure will transport you to a world of enchanting secrets and perilous quests.

The plague of the witch's reign ended nearly two centuries ago, their age of power over the realm of Vytelor finally ceasing at the hands of the royal family. Throughout the eighty-year war, they managed to find the witch's weaknesses, they learned where their magic stemmed from, and with their armies strategized a way to make it end. A way to slaughter the most powerful of them, and force the rest into surrender. The Kendrick family then formulated a plan. A witch's magic is an important element with many uses, many of which the people agreed that they couldn't live without. They couldn't eradicate them completely. Spells of protection, enchantments that provide the body with warmth in snow, or sigils cast into the skin to bring luck or health. Their ability to tap into one's soul. To see one as one's most sincere self, and even go as far as reaching to discover one's soul bond, one's truest match. Such abilities couldn't go to waste regardless of the potential danger. Their use was priceless, and they had become easy enough to control under the right hand. Discipline and restraints were enough to keep their anger and vengeance from turning into anything truly harmful. Thus, the royals set out an order for containment instead. Grimoires filled with history and knowledge were collected and burned, save for a select few. Something similar happened with the witches themselves. Witches of the new generation grew up lacking knowledge of how to tap into their potential and were, from there, deemed no threat. These witches were sold off to me, no more than help in a homestead to those who could afford them. Those few that were picked and permitted to wield their magic were trained solely in the art of what the kingdom wanted them for. No more, and no less. Now was the time for Prince Elias to take his throne, but first must come to he ceremony with a witch to find who his soul's bond is. Followed by a hunt with his men to find her, and make her his Queen.
