"Born without wings." The midwife pronounced each syllable with an even tone although it was not hard to tell that she was doing her best to hide the shock and amazement in her voice. Queen Evangeline lay on the sweat-soaked sheets of her large bed. A heavy quilt was draped over her quivering, naked body and her face was positively red from the effort of giving birth just a few moments earlier. "What...What does that mean?" Special. Unique. Different. Words designed as praise only keep Delilah prisoner. As a princess of Fae who was born without wings, Delilah has been controlled, questioned, and ridiculed all of her life. It seems her whole life revolves around being different. But when a dark magic settles across the kingdom, Delilah must choose to confront what truly matters, before her people suffer the consequences.

My mother says my endless curiosity and my need to venture is a curse. Though, I know she only says that because I'm just like my father; who went out to curb his appetite for new experiences and never came home. Do I feel abandoned? No. How could I? Not when I fully understand the craving... Fae almost never leave Avalon. It's rare, and normally Fae that leave Avalon are forced into exile. Hardly ever do they leave voluntarily. My mother hates to see me leave, and a part of me is ashamed to do so, seeing as I'm basically abandoning her like my father. But she has my baby brother, Almned, who isn't even 500 yet. And I'm one penalty away from serving time in the Avalonian Guardhouse. Which is ridiculous, considering I have only broken a few rules. Avalon used to be a vast place of freedom, a sanctuary for persecuted Fae, the Homeland where everyone had a voice. Well... Avalon is not what it used to be... Maybe the Otherworld will be big enough to spread my wings. *** What happens when a Fae leaves Avalon and befriends a Human? Yes, my book is rated mature. Though, it really isn't THAT bad. I really tried to keep it clean. Also, this is a part 1. Part 2 will come eventually.
