Soft Wings, Bright Sky is a lyrical, emotional coming-of-age journey told through the eyes of a duckling. Small and overlooked, she sees the world with quiet wonder-until a shadow stirs beneath the pond and fear begins to cloud her light. But even darkness holds truth, and through courage, curiosity, and love, she finds her wings. A story of softness, survival, and flight-for anyone who's ever felt small, and dared to dream anyway.

Fading into time
BASED LOOSELY ON THIS PROMPT: A long time ago, every human had wings. When you were born, they were white, but they changed to all colours of the rainbow given what kind of life you live, from a light yellow to a dark blue. However, in this time, only stumps are left, coloured in a muddy grey. No one remembers why humans left their wings, and no one cares anymore. That is until a young man appears, seemingly without memory, with wings as tall as he is himself, fully feathered...but coloured in the darkest shade of black. credits to https://weheartit.com/entry/324896801 for cover art thank you💞Complete

Echoes of Forgotten Wings
Echoes of Forgotten Wings is deeply tragic and engrossing tale that fantasy and human drama interlace, with a very special emphasis on the human factor. In the very beginning we meet Ivo - a young boy who cherishes a sound of family warmth and at the same time learns that the very warmth comes from those who betrayed once, causing the fall of Skyborns, the once greatest and most revered winged race among humans. As Ivo comes to know the dark side of his family's history, where the once-celebrated Skyborn are no longer powerful, he is faced with the question, whether he is willing to lose his life in the quest to redeem the other fallen ones or let their memory die forever. Echoes of Forgotten Wings is also concerned with the inconsistency of human quest for power and the ancient forces which it is incapable of controlling, through the themes of guilt, self-immolation and cost of liberty. Readers will be moved by this book because it has elaborated and picturesque narration that portrays well every detail of the plot making one ponder about their choices.Complete
