Humming for the Wings

5 parts Ongoing

Seventeen-year-old Vicky Marrow has nothing left- just a name stained by his brother's death and a city that forgot how to care. When he walks straight into the hands of Vincent, the cold and commanding leader of the Bluebird gang, he expects bullets, not mercy. But Vincent isn't just another name in the underworld. He's the man who once loved Oliver, Vicky's brother, the same man whose death Vincent avenged with blood. Now, with guilt rotting between them, Vincent offers Vicky the one thing he shouldn't: a place by his side. As the streets spiral into chaos and rival gangs circle for war, Vicky becomes Redbird, Vincent's second-in-command, his shadow, his reminder of everything he's lost. But the closer he gets, the more Vicky realizes that loyalty in this world is a slow kind of dying, and love is just another form of ruin. In a city that devours its own, Humming for the Wings is a story of grief, survival, and the fragile bond between two souls bound by the same ghost.
