Earthborn

His greatest sin wasn't treason. It was having a half-human daughter.

Prince Eirran is a winged Ilari, a former warrior and Seraph. His only crime was loving a human woman - a crime that cost her her life and left him with a living, breathing secret: their daughter.

Lily is a "mudborn princess," half-human, half-Ilari, and utterly wingless. Her very existence is a blasphemy that could shatter the empire. To protect her, Eirran must hide her in plain sight, battling the vipers of his court who would see her erased.

But as Lily grows, a dormant inheritance awakens within her - that could unravel the world itself.

For fans of the fierce parent-child bond of The Last of Us and the Witcher. This is a story where love is not a romance, but a rebellion.

This story features:
✦ A heart-wrenching, central father-daughter bond.
✦ A brave, clever, strong heroine.
✦ Winged races, aerial legions, and political scheming.
✦ Tear-jerking moments & heart-soaring hope.

A Note on Process & Transparency
Earthborn was originally written in Croatian. To preserve its lyrical intent in English, it has undergone a careful process of translation and polishing.
In this effort, I employed a variety of digital tools, including AI-assisted translation and editing software. My goal is to leverage every available tool to ensure the highest quality reading experience. The core of the work: the story, characters, world, and authorial voice, is mine.

(Important to notice: this is me translating my original work.)
