When The Curtain Falls

The spotlight is everything to Han Xue.
As the male principal dancer of The Velar Theater, every flawless performance keeps his dreams as a birdshifter intact: a perfect record, a coveted spot in the paradise city, and a carefully maintained partnership with the theater's female principal dancer.

But on stage, fame is as fleeting as flight. With a new addition to the flock, Han Xue feels the glow of admiration shift-and with it, the life he's worked so hard for unravel.

Amidst the shadows of falling feathers and shifting roles, what remains constant is the quiet, intense gaze from the left wing. A werewolf stagehand, feared by the flock, sees Han Xue not for his perfection, but for the man beneath the poise.

Perhaps true love waits not in the light of the stage, but when the curtain falls.
